The 2014 Tusker Premier league is destined for one of the most heart stopping finishes in its history. The four teams at the top are separated by only two points. Gor Mahia had a chance to put some space between them and the closest challengers but two succesive draws have complicated the situation at the top.<\/p>\n
Still Gor Mahia has a chance to go top when they take on Ulinzi on Wednesday. They will have only 3 days to correct some of the errors they made against Tusker on Sunday. According to assistant coach Bobby Ogolla, the defense gave Collins Kimani too much space.<\/p>\n
“We had victory snatched from our grip by a lapse in defence. Our defenders allowed Kevin Kimani too much space on the left and he destroyed us with that killer pass to Clifford Alwanga,” he told goal.com.<\/p>\n
Both Bobby Legend and new coach Frank Nuttall have their work cut out to fix the issues. Bobby thinks Gor Mahia played well and are still in the driving seat.<\/p>\n
“Overall, we played well. Of course we are disappointed that we did not win this match as we had wanted to. We are however, still focused on retaining the title and are looking at our next game against Ulinzi Stars. We still have the advantage of having played one less match and this may just make a difference at the end.” said Bobby Legend to goal.com<\/p>\n
If the defenders played below average, then one player who played well above average is captain Jerim Onyango who was rock solid between the sticks.<\/p>\n
Ulinzi are surprisngly even with Gor Mahia in their all time record over the past few years. In April of this year, Gor Mahia beat them 1-0. In 2013, Ulinzi won the first leg while the second leg ended 0-0. A win for Gor Mahia will see them go to 46 points and atop the premier league. A draw will complicate things further and pull them further into the crowded leading pack.<\/p>\n
New coach Frank Nuttall\u00a0 has yet to win a match since he joined and Wednesday would be a good time to get his first win. Many have blamed a lack of player depth.\u00a0 One person who thinks Gor Mahia’s playing unit is fine is former AFC Leopards and Harambee stars goalkeeper John Busolo.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly Tusker can prevent Gor Mahia from winning the trophy for a second time in a row. The KPL champions have everything they need to defend the title; Young players and passionate fans.\u201d said Busolo.<\/p>\n
He also thinks there are plenty of positives to pick from their recent CECAFA cup campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ask me, I think the tournament was a good opportunity to expose the young\u00a0players in a very competitive environment. The experience will push them to win the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
Busolo had an illustrious career and was Kenya’s goalkeeper at the 1992 Africa Nations cup. More recently he was the goalkeeper trainer at AFC Leopards.<\/p>\n
The match against Ulinzi will kickoff at 4pm on Wednesday at City stadium. May the 12th man turn out in large numbers.<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia will have to shore up their defence. But they will have to do it without dependable defender, David Owino “Calabar”. Owino was booked on Sunday and Secretary General Chris Omondi has indicated that having accumulated 5 yellow cards, Calabar is required to miss one game. In his absence, Gor Mahia might count on new signing Charles Bruno.<\/p>\n
