Pirates (2nd) travel to TS Galaxy (9th). One of Myer Bevan's old clubs.
https://us.soccerway.com/game/orlando-pirates-p4SF9EMI/ts-galaxy-KUDSx8jo/?mid=6VOoIrg5
ADJ has 118 mins in 8 PSL games for Pirates. Even with Singh out I think his spot in the March AWs squad is questionable.

ADJ starts but is off at HT with Pirates up 3-0.
TS Galaxy had a player sent off in only the 4th minute.
ADJ's replacement got 2 assists in the 2nd half as it finished 6-0.
It might have been a tactical change at HT, as Pirates (1st, 51 pts) smelt blood against a 10 man opponent and a chance to improve their GD.
The title battle with Sundowns (2nd, 50 pts, game in hand) is very tight and might yet come down to GD.
Still ADJ's stats in the PSL this season (Stellies & Pirates) continue to be unimpressive. At face value lucky to be in the AWs squad.

I believe it was a tactical change.
It has been a very difficult season for him (stats wise) but to be fair to him, it's very difficult to come to a big club like Orlando Pirates and perform.
Nobody expected Stellenbosch to have such a difficult season. Analysts predicted the lose of quality players (and replacing them with young reserves) would have an effect on their performances and league position but nobody said a relegation fight.
At Orlando Pirates his competing against 3 Bafana creative midfieders in this team. Their style of play is completely different to Stellenbosch. At Stellenbosch, he was the centre of their attack play, but at OP, Mofokeng(21) dictates. Mofokeng, who got a hattrick in the last game and leads the league with assists, will definitely be leaving in July (hopefully to Minnesota because Cam desperately needs him). His going to need time to adjust, but the good thing is his getting game time. Also, the games he has played, his been incredibly unlucky not to score more goals.
I get what you saying as it's a WC year. He does not suit Baze preferred formation of 4-3-3 - (he suits 4-2-3-1), so not even sure why he gets picked. Hopefully he gets game time next week, so fans can see what he can offer.
