Gor Mahia discuss title chances after slow start to season

Kenyan giants Gor Mahia are confident of defending their FKF Premier League title and make it a three-peat according to the Team Manager Victor Nyaoro.K’Ogalo have had a slow start to the season, posting inconsistent results and losing points that they would ordinarily win and have been a pale shadow of the high-flying side that they were in the 2023/24 season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8674055##The club’s performance has infuriated their faithful who have on numerous occasions expressed their displeasure by forcing club captain Philemon Otieno to explain the poor results and sometimes resorted to roughing up the technical bench.The 21-time league champions are currently third in the league table with 28 points, eight shy of joint league leaders Kenya Police and Tusker FC but Nyaoro has sent a warning to the duo.“This league is like a Marathon. You can command the race in front but get out-sprinted towards the end. We are watching the table leaders keenly,” he stated.FIFA report reveals how much Kenyan clubs received in transfer fees in 2024Nyaoro is confident that K’Ogalo is still in the title race and ready to make it a hat-trick of league titles.“We can still re-energize and hit our mission of winning the third consecutive title,” he added.Gor Mahia’s slow start of the season saw the club part ways with Brazilian coach Leonardo Neiva in November 2024 in a bid to change fortunes and appointed his assistant, Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno in an interim capacity.However, little progress has been made under the former KCB coach with the club still posting unpleasant results.Gor’s main problems seems to be their inability to create enough chances and convert the few created as well as their leaking defense.Story of ex-Kenya Police winger needing Ksh2 million after mother agrees to donate kidneyIn fact, Gor Mahia have already conceded 13 goals in 17 league games, the same number of goals that they conceded in 32 league games last season.The failure to replace striker Benson Omalla who left for Lebanon at the start of the season has also seen the club being wasteful in front of goal.As a matter of concern, Gor Mahia finished their last league game against Kakamega Homeboyz without registering a shot on target.The side will host Posta Rangers in their next league match on Saturday 1 February at Dandora Stadium.
