He said they spurned their chances and defended poorly on the other end, but keeps hope that his side will recover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was not a good performance from us today (Sunday). We had our chances and we did not take them, AFC Leopards\u2019 had theirs and they took them. I feel we did not fight enough but I still have hope we can recover,\u201d Williamson told goal.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe defended poorly, pulled our line too high and ended up paying for it. I think that is a problem we need to address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know we will bounce back. It is now my duty as a coach and a motivator to get the boys back on their feet. We have a very good crop of players with enthusiasm and good professionalism. This is a slip but we will fight back to get to our best.\u201d Williamson added<\/p>\n<p>A deeper look at the situation might reveal that the AFC technical bench looked at Gor Mahia&#8217;s weaknesses in defending and found ways to exploit them.<\/p>\n<h3>There is a need for stability<\/h3>\n<p>Also this past week, the AFC officials have been leaking stories to the media about trying to pry players from Gor Mahia. AFC were doing this because they know that Gor Mahia is in a precarious financial situation and that players might be tempted to leave.\u00a0 If their aim was to destabilize and unsettle the Gor Mahia camp, they may have succeeded. Much has been said about which players did not play well. But ultimately it comes down to getting a modicum of financial stability. Which is why the EC must work with expediency to resolve the standoff with the KRA. It has been well over two months now. The negligence which caused this problem to begin with is being exhibited by the club officials again and this time the results could be dramatic.<\/p>\n<h3>Hats off to the fans<\/h3>\n<p>On another note, kudos to the fans who showed up at the stadium to support the team and left peaceably even when the results did not go their way. This kind if behaviour is the way forward. We urge Gor Mahia officials to highlight this fact in the media because the media will not mention any positives about Gor Mahia fans.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fgormahia.net%2Flatest%2Fnews%2Fwilliamson-slams-poor-defending%2F&amp;width&amp;layout=standard&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=true&amp;share=true&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/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\/williamson-slams-poor-defending\/\"\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&#8217;s Scottish coach Bobby Williamson has blamed his team for conceding &#8216;cheaply&#8217; but vows to help side bounce back<\/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":[],"class_list":["post-4727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4727","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=4727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4727\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
