Premier Soccer League champions surrendered their top spot after failing to win in their last five matches.<\/p>\n<p>They were held to a goalless draw by Highlanders on Saturday \u2014 a result that saw them drop to third place on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the game, Luphahla conceded that there is little time left to recover, with only two matches remaining in the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed after dropping points at home,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we hit a bad patch at the wrong time of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started slowly this season but we picked up and made people believe in us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, it\u2019s now difficult, and our play has changed \u2014 maybe because of pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h3
