Boardroom

Silverware for Gor Mahia

They will talk about this season in this town for a long time. The trophy comes home with the squad, and the route is already agreed.

Squad

Giscard Mavoungou: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gor Mahia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Loan watch

13 goals on loan for Ebenezer Adukwaw

32 appearances at Mara Sugar and the goals keep coming. Gor Mahia are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Match

Gor Mahia are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 69 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Ousmane Coulibaly signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ousmane Coulibaly commits to Gor Mahia for another 2 years.

Boardroom

Wages eat 139% of everything Gor Mahia earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

The month belongs to Don-Pedro Samuel

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Gor Mahia have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Squad

Patrick Ekandjoum gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

The Frank Odhiambo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Gor Mahia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match

Gor Mahia see off Kariobangi Sharks

Three points for Gor Mahia, 1-0 the final word against Kariobangi Sharks in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Frank Odhiambo is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.46 with 5 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Loan watch

13 goals on loan for Ebenezer Adukwaw

32 appearances at Mara Sugar and the goals keep coming. Gor Mahia are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Byrne Omondi

“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.

Market

The Lewis Bandi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Gor Mahia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Patrick Ekandjoum knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Gor Mahia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

18 unbeaten for Gor Mahia

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 18 matches without defeat is a foundation Gor Mahia did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Brahim Sabaouni: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gor Mahia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Don-Pedro Samuel is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.00 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Gor Mahia know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Market

Mara Sugar watching Paul Ochuoga

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Gor Mahia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match

Gor Mahia share the spoils with Nairobi United

A 1-1 draw with Nairobi United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Patrick Ekandjoum

“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.

Boardroom

Gor Mahia counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Gor Mahia now.

Squad

Frank Odhiambo is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.23 with 2 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market

The Gad Mathews talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Gor Mahia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match

Gor Mahia get the job done against Mara Sugar

A 2-0 win over Mara Sugar, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Gad Mathews shuts the door again

10 clean sheets and counting. Strikers leave this ground muttering his name, which is exactly how a goalkeeper measures a good season.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Patrick Ekandjoum

“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.

Squad

Shariff Musa wants a proper job in this side

Shifted about, taken off before the hour, asked to do somebody else's running — Shariff Musa has had enough of being useful and would like to be picked. Gor Mahia know, and have known for weeks.

Match

Gor Mahia bow out of the cup

APS Bomet go through and Gor Mahia go home, 0-0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad

Patrick Ekandjoum: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gor Mahia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

8 unbeaten for Gor Mahia

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Gor Mahia did not have in the autumn.

Match

Gor Mahia find a way past Shabana

Shabana made Gor Mahia work for it, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Stabiso Njoko gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch

Ebenezer Adukwaw keeps scoring at Mara Sugar

14 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Giscard Mavoungou says Gor Mahia went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Gor Mahia make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Gor Mahia have 3 straight wins of it.

Match

Gor Mahia find a way past Mathare United

Match

No end in sight to Gor Mahia's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Gor Mahia has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Gor Mahia lose Samuel Kapen

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

Gor Mahia and Sofapaka take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Patrick Ekandjoum gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Alpha Onyango finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Gor Mahia have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad

Sylvester Owino asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Gor Mahia

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

Gor Mahia find a way past AFC Leopards

AFC Leopards made Gor Mahia work for it, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Patrick Ekandjoum gets it from the manager
