For the third time in a row, the match is being played amid a go-slow by players who are protesting non-payment. Reports suggest that the players are protesting non-payment of their salaries for March and April. This scenario is threatening to derail what is a very promising start to the 2015 league campaign as rumours abound that some senior players will be leaving in June.\u00a0 It is not clear what the club EC is doing to address this situation. There seems to be a lack of determination on their part since many of their previous initiatives like 350100 is no longer being pursued aggressively.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia fans for their part have been doing their part, on occasion raising funds to bolster the player&#8217;s morale. The players for their part, despite go-slows, have managed to maintain their focus enough to win 7 games out of 9. Coach Frank Nuttall has been doing his best to keep the team grounded and focused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our main focus is to win the next match. We do not look at the good record we have or the bad record that the opponents have. We take each match at a time and I believe the boys will deliver again Wednesday&#8221;, he said to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Fans will be hoping that Gor Mahia can maintain the same tempo and pick up 3 points in Awendo.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will be boosted by the return of Liberian defensive stalwart Dirkir Glay who is coming back from injury.<\/p>\n<p>SoNy who are coached by former Gor Mahia coach Zedekiah Otieno &#8220;Zico&#8221; for their part will be hoping to make amends for their shambolic performance against AFC Leopards in which they lost 1-5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will be a difficult match, against them (Gor Mahia) because they want to maintain their record. Currently they are ruthless but that does not matter because football is unpredictable. We need good results against them and that makes the game even harder,\u201d \u2018 said coach &#8220;Zico&#8221; to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlayers are determined to make amends following last week\u2019s result, it was a humiliating defeat, actually the worst in my coaching career, but it is gone now. The fans will be behind us, I am hopeful we will get something from this match.\u201d<\/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\/gor-mahia-take-on-sony-amid-uncertainty\/\"\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 will take on SoNy Sugar of Awendo in a midweek KPL clash that will be played at Awendo<\/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":[343,185],"class_list":["post-6685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-2015-kenya-premier-league","tag-gor-mahia-vs-sony-sugar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6685","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=6685"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6686,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6685\/revisions\/6686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
