Match

The wait goes on for Hasaacas

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

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.

Player ratings

Andrew Mensah was immovable

15 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

The dugout

Mohammed Ayew 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.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Patrick Baba on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

Christian Paintsil dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Mohammed Baba runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Point won or two lost for Hasaacas?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Asante Kotoko? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Amos Essien

Nobody at Hasaacas is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from a squad player

There were 16 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

The cup run ends for Hasaacas

1‑2 against Liberty Professionals, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

No end in sight to Hasaacas's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hasaacas has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Mohammed Baba was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Real improvement from a squad player at Hasaacas

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. a squad player is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A row about effort at Hasaacas

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Edwin Gyimah

“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.

Squad

Mohammed Owusu signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mohammed Owusu commits to Hasaacas for another 3 years.

The dugout

Patrick Baba answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

Match

Hasaacas come up short against Wa All Stars

Wa All Stars left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Mohammed Baba was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Christian Paintsil

“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.

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.

The dugout

Patrick Baba answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed Baba 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

Edwin Gyimah left out for tactical reasons at Hasaacas

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout

Kwame Partey dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

Hasaacas turn down BA All Stars for Kwadwo Kyereh

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

Transfer targets

Sharif Shuaib will not be coming to Hasaacas

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Hearts of Oak is saying, and nobody at Hasaacas is enjoying the guessing.

Market

Andre Gyan attracts admirers

The name of Andre Gyan has come up in conversations Hasaacas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars tell Hasaacas: Daouda Kone is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hasaacas

Osman Boakye 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Harrison Asante

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

Squad

Hasaacas count the cost of losing Andre Baba

53 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Andrew Wakaso signs on for more

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

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from Wa All Stars for Baba Gyan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Harrison Asante signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Harrison Asante commits to Hasaacas for another 3 years.

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from Cotonsport Garoua for Albert Acquah was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A row about effort at Hasaacas

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

Squad

Baba Gyan 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.
