Pitso Mosimane has indicated that he will rely on Mamelodi Sundowns’ regulars as the race for the Absa Premiership title reaches its final stretch.

Masandawana moved four points clear at the top of the PSL table with a game in hand following their 2-1 victory against Baroka on Sunday.

In a bid to see off the game against Bakgaga, the former Bafana Bafana mentor brought on new signings Oupa Manyisa and Jeremy Brockie.

Mosimane, however, suggested that he won’t depend on his new signings in pursuit of the club’s eighth league title this season.

‘It’s not the time when we can ask more from the Aubrey Ngomas‚ Jeremy Brockies and George Lebeses,’ he told the media.

‘Oupa Manyisa has that experience. But we know it will always be the same boys.

‘We dropped Wayne Arendse for some time‚ Motjeka Madisha was playing‚ but he’s back now.

‘We’ve tried to keep Denis Onyango away from the Nedbank Cup. He’s back also. So this is the crucial time and we have the experience.

‘And we have the experience of knowing that we might drop the Nedbank Cup‚ we might lose the league‚ we might lose the Champions League – we are forever skating on thin ice [in all of them].

‘And if you want to race with us you must also have experience. You can’t drop a point,’ he concluded.
