Player ratings

Michael Quarcoo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Only the photograph left for Bernard Agyemang

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bernard Agyemang will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around New Edubiase United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

5 matches without a win for New Edubiase United

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around New Edubiase United are no longer polite ones.

Market

Mohammed Baba asks to leave New Edubiase United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at New Edubiase United

Adeyemo Bolaji 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

A row about effort at New Edubiase United

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

Match

Ashanti Gold take the points off New Edubiase United

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

The dugout

Edmund Annan 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.

The dugout

Lawrence Osei 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.

Squad

Lawrence Osei keeps New Edubiase United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

The caretaker keeps it: Edmund Annan confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Match

New Edubiase United taken apart

0‑3 to Asante Kotoko, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Mohammed Baba asks to leave New Edubiase United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Bernard Agyemang has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around New Edubiase United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words exchanged at New Edubiase United

Yaw Nuhu 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

Ernest 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

100 appearances for Lawrence Osei

100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

The dugout

Abu Tatu 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.
