From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

James Tendoh was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Colombe du Dja et Lobo

The unbeaten run reaches 7. 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

Words at Colombe du Dja et Lobo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Randy Ntume 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.

Squad

Randy Ntume reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad

A falling-out at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Yvan Mvondo Olama and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Marius Essapa Esseme signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marius Essapa Esseme and Colombe du Dja et Lobo agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Randy Ntume

7.39, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Colombe du Dja et Lobo had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

Achille Bekale: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Robert Ntsengue Atsiga

“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

James Tendoh was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

6 unbeaten for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Colombe du Dja et Lobo did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Randy Ntume falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Yvan Mvondo Olama 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Herval Joel Ndedi Kingue was the difference for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Marked 7.40. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

Achille Bekale: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad

The division's best last weekend was a Colombe du Dja et Lobo man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Jean Hugues Eyango was the best thing in any of them.

The dugout

Colombe du Dja et Lobo keep their word to Christian Bella

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Match

Colombe du Dja et Lobo draw a blank against Fauve Azur Elite

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

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A falling-out at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Jean Hugues Eyango and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Randy Ntume was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against PWD Bamenda.

Squad

Young player of the week: Conrad Njuma

At 20 he was the best of everybody his age in the division for one weekend. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Looking ahead

Édouard Sombang faces his old club

PWD Bamenda next, and one man in the Colombe du Dja et Lobo dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Herval Joel Ndedi Kingue 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Jean Hugues Eyango 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings

James Tendoh 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Randy Ntume was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

A bad afternoon for Colombe du Dja et Lobo against Gazelle Garoua

0‑2 to Gazelle Garoua, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Achille Bekale: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Edmond Sindjo

7 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

The dugout

Calistus Akoh does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Player ratings

The pass was always on for Jean Hugues Eyango

Chances created: 6. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.
