Others said coach Kalisto Pasuwa's messed up in leaving on form Orlando Pirates gunman Tendai Ndoro on the bench.
"I think Ndoro should have come on ahead of Cuthbert Malajila.
" Ndoro has been playing regularly at Orlando Pirates and as it is his confidence is high because he has also been scoring frequently, something that Malajila has failed to do at Bidvest Wits" added Brian Masiye is quoted saying.
Batsirai Shoko said the Warriors defended too deep and by so doing increased chances of making errors.
