Orlando Pirates coach Davids: You have to unblock the block

Orlando Pirates coach Fadlu Davids felt his side could have done with a bit more creativity in the game against Maritzburg United, a 0-0 draw at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Wednesday evening.

While Maritzburg keeper Marcel Engelhardt did pull off a couple of good saves, he was not overly tested on the night, even after the hosts had been reduced to 10 men following Brandon Theron's 66th-minute red card for a foul on Thabang Monare.

And while it was clear that Maritzburg coach Ernst Middendorp had set up his side to avoid a third consecutive league defeat, Davids felt that his team could have done with a bit more spark and innovation.
