Squad

A fracture rules Carlos Muela out for 116 days

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Junior Nguimbat

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Real improvement from Elton Ndzeryuy at PWD Bamenda

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Elton Ndzeryuy is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at PWD Bamenda

Alvin Binsto 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 PWD Bamenda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. El Mehdi Karnass 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Febe Fritz Gilles

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Junior Nguimbat runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 64. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Carlos Muela out for 132 days

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

Market

Stephane Noah asks to leave PWD Bamenda

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

So close: Patrick Clovert’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Panthere du Nde moved on, Patrick Clovert reports back to PWD Bamenda, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Boardroom

2 academy players handed senior numbers at PWD Bamenda

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Terence Ambe Ngufor 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 PWD Bamenda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

PWD Bamenda promote Georges Bekale from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Georges Bekale has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

PWD Bamenda promote Stephane Ondoa from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stephane Ondoa has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Alvin Binsto 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

Silas Nwankwo 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 PWD Bamenda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

El Mehdi Karnass 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

El Mehdi Karnass has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. PWD Bamenda know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

PWD Bamenda and Alvin Binsto are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

5 new faces, and PWD Bamenda are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Nchanji Nfor told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nchanji Nfor has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at PWD Bamenda.
