Player ratings

Yahaya Ibrahim, 21, steals the show — 7.73

Marked 7.73 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Plateau United turn down Mgarr United for Dickson Ibrahim

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

Boardroom

Plateau United to lose Promise Damala for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Promise Damala has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Market

Only the photograph left for Temitope Adaralegbe

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Temitope Adaralegbe will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Plateau United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Plateau United

Okiemute Odah and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Berekum Chelsea join the queue for Domnan Panse

Add another name to the list: Berekum Chelsea have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Domnan Panse. The answer from Plateau United has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Monday Etim

Plateau United asked and Universitatea Craiova said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

One of their own: Yahaya Ibrahim

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Plateau United find a way past Niger Tornadoes

Niger Tornadoes made Plateau United work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

In brief
