Marked for Gideon Werre

Squad3 May 2027

The knee: Sphamandla Shangase out for 65 days

65 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. KCB lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad3 May 2027

Clyde Senaji stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Clyde Senaji and KCB agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 May 2027

A row about effort at KCB

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Clyde Senaji was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad3 May 2027

Words exchanged at KCB

Gideon Werre and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings3 May 2027

Stephen Etyang beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout3 May 2027

No hiding place for Gideon Werre

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gideon Werre, and the manager let it.

The dugout3 May 2027

Eric Olunga on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Eric Olunga after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout3 May 2027

KCB pick somebody else ahead of Fadhili Mwinyimvua

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match1 May 2027

KCB draw a blank against Sofapaka

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Sofapaka defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sphamandla Shangase

110 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. KCB lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match20 Mar 2027

KCB make home a hard place to visit

13 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Market22 Mar 2027

Victor Odhiambo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KCB can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Patrick Otieno was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match20 Mar 2027

Whatever happens, KCB do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A falling-out at KCB

Gideon Werre and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words at KCB training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Clyde Senaji is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

The afternoon belonged to Rowland Makati

A mark of 7.33, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Fadhili Mwinyimvua

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad8 Mar 2027

18 days out for Elvis Ochoro after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. KCB will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match6 Mar 2027

Nobody wins at KCB

12 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Nobody could get near Stephen Etyang

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces8 Mar 2027

KCB supporters have found a favourite in Josphat Andafu Mukhwana

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Josphat Andafu Mukhwana has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match6 Mar 2027

KCB find a way past Kenya Police

Kenya Police made KCB work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Fortune Omoto in the eights

A performance of 8.26 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Patrick Otieno was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.16. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Stephen Etyang in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KCB this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Mar 2027

KCB are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A row about effort at KCB

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hlompho Dala was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at KCB

Humphrey Mieno and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

A promise honoured at KCB

Something was said to Hlompho Dala and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Richard Omondi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Richard Omondi, and the manager let it.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Stephen Etyang has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at KCB will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes Elvis Ochoro a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at KCB. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
