Player ratings

Nobody could get near Andrew Owusu

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

At last: Hasaacas win one

6 matches without a win, and then this, against Bechem United. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Squad

Baba Gyan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Baba Gyan commits to Hasaacas for another 5 years.

The terraces

Hasaacas supporters have found a favourite in Thomas Schlupp

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Thomas Schlupp has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Hasaacas find a way past Bechem United

Bechem United made Hasaacas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Thomas Schlupp was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Loan watch

Andre Gyan counts the days

“I watch every Hasaacas game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at New Edubiase United runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Osman Boakye makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Patrick Baba, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Mohammed Owusu is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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

Kwadwo Kyereh 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.

Match

Great Olympics take the points off Hasaacas

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Osman Boakye 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Amos Essien

“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.

The dugout

Patrick Baba faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Patrick Baba after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Baba Gyan

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Baba Gyan has come out of that comparison in the side, and Hasaacas have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout

Hasaacas pick somebody else ahead of Christian Paintsil

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

No place for a squad player in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” a squad player has his answer from Hasaacas; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
