Squad

Maclyn Biokpo Jenewari is carrying Rivers United

13 goals and a season average of 7.25. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Pius Igwe gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Honours even between Rivers United and Rangers International

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Rivers United lose John Noble

141 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Stephen Amos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

No goals between Rivers United and Barau

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Barau will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

Jacob John: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Rivers United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

Enyimba take the points off Rivers United

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Suleiman Abdullahi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Sylvester Bell told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Sylvester Bell has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Rivers United.

Squad

Stephen Amos asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Stephen Manyo linked with a move away

The name of Stephen Manyo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rivers United say nothing, which says plenty.
