Durban City midfielder Brooklyn Poggenpoel admits preparations for their upcoming clash against Golden Arrows have been far from ideal due to a demanding fixture list.
The Citizens are coming off a busy period that included a Nedbank Cup semi-final triumph over Casric Stars last weekend, followed by a narrow midweek defeat to reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
With limited recovery time, attention now shifts to the KwaZulu-Natal derby set for Saturday afternoon at the King Zwelithini Stadium, and Poggenpoel says the focus is on delivering an improved performance after their recent setback.
