Player ratings

Newton Adebayo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Daniel Atiemo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A row about effort at Inter Allies

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

The dugout

Sadiq Ali 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

Bechem United take the points off Inter Allies

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Abeiku Baba left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Pius Ibrahim

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Inter Allies

Ashanti Gold top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Squad

“I want to play”: Kelvin Appiah speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market

Daniel Mensah puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hasaacas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Bernard Appiah 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 Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joseph Wakaso 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 dugout

No hiding place for Daniel Mensah

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniel Mensah, and the manager let it.

Squad

Andre Atiemo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andre Atiemo and Hasaacas agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Andre Atiemo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Andre Atiemo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Transfer targets

Kelvin Appiah due for a Inter Allies medical

Everything agreed with Hearts of Oak, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

A falling-out at Inter Allies

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

Squad

Sheriff Alabani is a square peg at Inter Allies

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

Hasaacas turn down Ashanti Gold for Daniel Mensah

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

Squad

Bernard Appiah 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joseph Wakaso 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 dugout

Mohammed Djiku 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

Jonathan Inusah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jonathan Inusah and Hasaacas agree another 3 years.

Market

Inter Allies expected to open talks for Daniel Atiemo

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Hasaacas will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
