Squad

Eliud Lokuwam breaks a bone — 139 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 139 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Harrison Mwendwa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Posta Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Lewis Shivachi out for 68 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Posta Rangers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Vincent Wasambo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Posta Rangers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Bernard Ondiek was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Harrison Mwendwa

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

No goals between Posta Rangers and Ulinzi Stars

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Ulinzi Stars will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

A fracture rules Lewis Shivachi out for 82 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Posta Rangers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Fredrick Odhiambo

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Izzadin Juma — 5.75

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.75 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

A fracture rules Lewis Shivachi out for 91 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Posta Rangers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

The wait goes on for Posta Rangers

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words at Posta Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Squad

Bernard Ondiek 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

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Kevin Juma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Honours even between Posta Rangers and Muranga Seal

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Oliver Maloba runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Vincent Wasambo

Marked 5.64, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Market

Still no ink between Posta Rangers and Owen Mboya

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Posta Rangers, another week without a signature from Owen Mboya.

Squad

Fredrick Odhiambo keeps Posta Rangers in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Maurice Sunga puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Posta Rangers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

5 matches without a win for Posta Rangers

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Posta Rangers are no longer polite ones.

Market

Posta Rangers turn down CotonTchad for Maxwell Odundo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Harrison Mwendwa 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 Posta Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Taoufik Safsafi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

A bad afternoon for Posta Rangers against Bidco United

0‑1 to Bidco United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Oliver Maloba

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Lewis Shivachi breaks a bone — 106 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 106 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Maxwell Odundo asks to leave Posta Rangers

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

4 matches without a win for Posta Rangers

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Posta Rangers are no longer polite ones.

Market

Business is business: Michael Wanjala goes

Bidco United paid $7.0K and Posta Rangers took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

CotonTchad join the queue for Maxwell Odundo

Add another name to the list: CotonTchad have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Maxwell Odundo. The answer from Posta Rangers has not changed — yet.

Squad

No hiding place for Harrison Mwendwa

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

Match

Kariobangi Sharks take the points off Posta Rangers

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Lewis Shivachi breaks a bone — 113 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 113 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Posta Rangers bow out of the cup

Sofapaka go through and Posta Rangers go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

Mara Sugar punish Posta Rangers for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Jackson Dwang will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Posta Rangers escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings

Both of them Jackson Dwang's — 8.90

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.90, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 9 of the 36 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market

Kevin Simiyu 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 Posta Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Bernard Ondiek was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

Posta Rangers sell a favourite for $66.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Lazarazu Otieno was one of the reasons people came, and $66.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market

Posta Rangers say no — this time

The offer from KCB for Owen Mboya was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Harrison Mwendwa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Business is business: Lazarazu Otieno goes

Shabana paid $66.0K and Posta Rangers took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad

Words at Posta Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Honours even between Posta Rangers and KCB

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Oliver Maloba

“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

Victor Majid placed on the list

Posta Rangers have made Victor Majid available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Jackson Macharia knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jackson Macharia trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

FC Diarra come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Posta Rangers did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Jackson Dwang in the eights

A performance of 9.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Jackson Dwang the difference as Posta Rangers beat Shabana

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jackson Dwang. 2‑0 against Shabana, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

No hiding place for Victor Majid

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

Squad

This league is too small for Taoufik Safsafi

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Posta Rangers will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Player ratings

Harrison Mwendwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Posta Rangers and Jackson Macharia are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match

Eliud Lokuwam breaks Gor Mahia hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Eliud Lokuwam scored in the 88th minute, Gor Mahia had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Posta Rangers took the lot.

Market

Bidco United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Posta Rangers did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Harrison Mwendwa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Harrison Mwendwa and Posta Rangers agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Eliud Lokuwam sends Posta Rangers past Gor Mahia

It finished 2‑1, and it was Eliud Lokuwam’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Posta Rangers.

Eyes on Dimpol Omamo again

The phone has started ringing about Dimpol Omamo again, and this time the name on the line is Bidco United. Posta Rangers are listening politely and promising nothing.
