A Gor Mahia fan has revealed the shocking thing the club needs in order to become unbeaten for the rest of the season.

FOOTBALL Flashback: When Harambee Stars stole the show against Gabon in Libreville
In 2001 Harambee Stars faced Gabon in an unforgettable match in Libreville, sparking anticipation for their upcoming showdown after 22 years.
"Murang’a Seal, who were promoted alongside Shabana, just dropped three players, which did not unsettle the playing unit, and that is why they are doing well in the league," he added, underlining the importance of continuity in building a competitive team.
Looking ahead to the upcoming transfer window in January, Omollo proposed a solution for Shabana's woes.
"So, when the transfer window opens, Shabana needs to get experienced players, and by that time, if they have a coach who can handle pressure, he will have to give these experienced players confidence. I would like Shabana to stay in the league," Omollo concluded, offering a glimmer of hope for Shabana's future prospects.
