Player ratings

Both of them Chisom Orji's — 8.58

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.58, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Vincent Edafe keeps Warri Wolves in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Micheal Adenodi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Warri Wolves can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Abdulrazaq Shuaibu 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 Warri Wolves this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Warri Wolves and Rangers International in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Words at Warri Wolves training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zeke May is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Warri Wolves

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

Tejiri Emonena 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.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma wins it after the whistle should have gone

97 minutes played. Igbunu Evwierhurhoma found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Kano Pillars went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma scores twice — 8.52

Two goals and a mark of 8.52 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Warri Wolves turn down Plateau United for Godstime Edewor

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

Warri Wolves get the job done against Kano Pillars

A 4‑3 win over Kano Pillars, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Tempers go at Warri Wolves

Abdulrazaq Shuaibu 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.

Squad

Words at Warri Wolves training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Chisom Orji is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Othuke Egbo told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Othuke Egbo has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Warri Wolves.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vincent Edafe

“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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Chisom Orji

Marked 8.25 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
