From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A fracture rules Aly Dessé Sissoko out for 68 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Olympique Akbou will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Real improvement from Mohammed El Hachami Chacha at Olympique Akbou

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mohammed El Hachami Chacha is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Olympique Akbou

Oussama Darfalou 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

Hicham Messiad runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

322% of the income goes out in wages at Olympique Akbou

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

No hiding place for José Rodrigo Lugo

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

The Bayelsa United Courier

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Andy Ezekiel is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Andy Ezekiel: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Bayelsa United through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Wikki Tourists, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Kelvin Ihunwo could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.47

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.47, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Nupe Godstime

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gabriel Biriduba 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 Bayelsa United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Bernard Okorowanta shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

One of those days for Eyong Ofem

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.01, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market

Fabby Clark attracts admirers

The name of Fabby Clark has come up in conversations Bayelsa United were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Peter Ebimobowei

“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.
