Free State Stars coach Themba Sithole is disappointed after the team dropped more points at home.

'Ea Lla Koto' have fared much better on they road than they have at home this season and Sithole wants to see an improvement on home soil.

Sithole told the club's official website: "The team did not perform very well on Saturday against Kaizer Chiefs.

"This has been our major problem for this season dropping unnecessary points at home, while on the other hand our away record is looking much better.

"For us to move away from that relegation zone we must start picking up points at home."

Stars face bitter rivals Bloemfontein Celtic in their next league fixture and Sithole admits that it is not going to be easy to claim valuable points.

He added: "We know very well that it is not going to be an easy game.

"You know very well that when these two Free State giants meet there is never a dull moment.

"Celtic have been dropping points recently and they will definitely come to us all pumped up as they will be avoiding yet another defeat."
