Match

The wait goes on for Inter Allies

8 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

Edmond Akichi 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 Inter Allies this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tayo Abiodoun

“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.

Player ratings

Newton Adebayo 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.

Player ratings

Odah Marshall was the difference for Inter Allies

Marked 7.36. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Kolawole Sheriff

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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Emmanuel Bukari was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Inter Allies dressing room was either.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Ramon Azeez

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

No goals between Inter Allies and Hearts of Oak

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Hearts of Oak will be the happier side with the point.

The dugout

Thomas Atiemo: 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.” Inter Allies have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Inter Allies

Odah Marshall 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.

Squad

21 new faces, and Inter Allies are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Maxwell Azafokpe stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Maxwell Azafokpe and Inter Allies agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Kolawole Sheriff signs for Inter Allies to fix the gap everybody could see

There is a particular relief in a club addressing the thing its own crowd has been shouting about. Kolawole Sheriff arrives for exactly that job, and now he has to do it.

Market

Inter Allies and Kolawole Sheriff are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets

Inter Allies try to borrow Paul Yeboah

Medeama have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Inter Allies ask about Rueben Owusu Boadu

A loan enquiry to Bechem United: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Inter Allies ask about a squad player

A loan enquiry to Liberty Professionals: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
