Squad

Osman Boakye breaks a bone — 105 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 105 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Abeiku Acquah, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83

A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Inusah Adam: 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.” Wa All Stars have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

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.

Player ratings

Amos Adjei runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Great Olympics take the points off Wa All Stars

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

Squad

No hiding place for Joseph Nathaniel

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

Match

Abeiku Acquah answers Great Olympics immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Abeiku Acquah had Wa All Stars level again within 2 minutes, and Great Olympics never got to play with a lead at all.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Bernard Afful

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Wa All Stars, and it is a cruel one.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A fracture rules Osman Boakye out for 120 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Amos Adjei leads the rout of Aduana Stars

3‑0, and Amos Adjei took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Wa All Stars tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market

Diego Lima hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wa All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Both of them Amos Adjei's — 8.34

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.34, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Andrew Acquah, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.78

A mark of 7.78 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Abeiku Acquah 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Wa All Stars supporters have found a favourite in Gladson Annan

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Gladson Annan 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.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abeiku Sulemana 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.

Squad

Amos Adjei named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Amos Adjei has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

In brief
