From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Vincent Temitope 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.

Match

Honours even between Plateau United and Barau

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about John Amah

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Squad

Gideon Monday is off the mark for Plateau United

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Jonathan Davou 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.

Market

Gafar Saka linked with a move away

The name of Gafar Saka keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Plateau United say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Vincent Temitope 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.

Boardroom

Plateau United release $3.6M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Squad

Walbe Gomir signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Walbe Gomir commits to Plateau United for another 3 years.

Squad

The armband comes off John Amah

Plateau United will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Squad

Albert Hilary 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.

Market

The John Amah talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Plateau United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Harrison Ebah: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Plateau United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

John Amah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” John Amah commits to Plateau United for another 4 years.

Loan watch

Aaron Pam wants to come home

“I did not go to Kwara United to sit and watch. I want to come back to Plateau United and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Walbe Gomir: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Plateau United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Isandu Danjuma

“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.

Boardroom

Plateau United release $3.6M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Iwueke Obiuto 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.

Market

Isandu Danjuma is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Plateau United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Plateau United see off Kun Khalifat

Three points for Plateau United, 2-1 the final word against Kun Khalifat in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Walbe Gomir stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Walbe Gomir and Plateau United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Gideon Monday is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.32 with 4 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Temitope Adaralegbe

“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.

Market

Daniel Aboh is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Plateau United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Walbe Gomir: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Plateau United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

8 unbeaten for Plateau United

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Plateau United did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Plateau United lose Promise Damala

142 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Victor Dawa

“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

Honours even between Plateau United and Kwara United

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Albert Hilary finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Plateau United have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market

Tarabina Biweribo leaves Plateau United for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Tarabina Biweribo moves on to another club with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.

Market

Wisdom Ndon leaves Plateau United for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Wisdom Ndon moves on to another club with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.
