From our football correspondent Steady

Match

The wait goes on for Aduana Stars

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Aduana Stars

Hamza Bahaj was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Hamza Bahaj

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Daouda Sidibé

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Mezack Afriyie

“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.

Loan watch

Thamsanqa Ndelu counts the days

“I watch every Aduana Stars game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Smouha runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Stephen Badu

Defensive actions: 16. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match

Point won or two lost for Aduana Stars?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against WAFA? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Player ratings

Mohammed Baba never got going

5.73 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Market

Aduana Stars say no — this time

The offer from Fatih Karagumruk for Daniel Awuni was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

At 21, Daniel Awuni is already the best thing here

An average of 7.67 in a first team he is several years too young for. Aduana Stars have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Daouda Sidibé in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aduana Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Daouda Sidibé

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daouda Sidibé, and the manager let it.

Squad

Mohammed Bamba signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mohammed Bamba commits to Aduana Stars for another 4 years.

Market

Alex Boakye is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Aduana Stars has been clear about where Alex Boakye stands, which is more than many ever get.

In brief
