After beating top-two rivals AmaZulu in midweek, the loss to the TS Galaxy was a big setback for Bucs' hopes of Champions League qualification
After another disappointing result - Sunday afternoon's 1-0 defeat away to TS Galaxy - the pressure will be increasing on Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer.
Heading into the Rockets game, Zinnbauer had already been under pressure - not only due to Pirates' inconsistent form, but also with the news that there is now a potentially ready-made replacement for him in former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt.
And even though the German ended a six-year wait for a trophy by winning the MTN8 last December, there remains a feeling among a lot for the fans that he's not the best man for the job.
