Squad

Gideon Monday says Plateau United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

4 matches without a win for Plateau United

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Plateau United are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Maren Kefas 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.

Squad

Gafar Saka 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.

Match

Plateau United and Warri Wolves cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Warri Wolves came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Market

Sabbath Mancha placed on the list

Plateau United have made Sabbath Mancha available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Mubaraq Usman stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mubaraq Usman and Plateau United agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Mubaraq Usman knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Plateau United, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Gift Osadebe keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Gift Osadebe plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Market

Pedel Madaki’s move to Nasarawa United falls through

The deal that would have taken Pedel Madaki to Nasarawa United has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Plateau United with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Plateau United

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Tarabina Biweribo

“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

Plateau United draw a blank against Kun Khalifat

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Kun Khalifat defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

Mafeng Pam 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

Plateau United put Sabbath Mancha up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Sabbath Mancha may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.
