It is what I have told my players; they have to work harder if they want to win the league this season&#8221; Polack told goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Tusker and Homeboyz are right behind Kogalo in the standings and coach Robert Matano appears determined to once again take the title as he did on the last day of the 2012 season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have stiff competition from Tusker and Homeboyz and of course some other teams, but if we step up our game and get positive results consistently, we will outwit them and stay at the top.&#8221; continued Polack<\/p>\n<p>The defence has been problematic for Kogalo in the past few games. The right full back position in particular has been exploited by opponents of late.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We conceded very easy goals which we could have avoided, and it put us under a lot of pressure. In the second half, I was forced to make some changes that worked for us. The good thing is that we got what we had come for; three points was all we needed.&#8221; concluded Polack<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-semantic-player widget-semantic-player--displayed\" data-module=\"article\/semantic-player\" data-module-loaded=\"true\">\n<div id=\"wrapper_7d26a39b605e587f2c5050eb64.zfo5i2saybkf13ss8sqbdhzd3$s=1\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/polack-only-hard-work-will-get-us-to-the-title\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia coach Steve Polack is yet again urging his players to step up their game as the race for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[622],"class_list":["post-15722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-steve-polack"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15722"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15723,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15722\/revisions\/15723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
