Marked for Daniel Moffi

Match23 Nov 2026
WAFA sink to position 14
8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

A defender's goal wins it for WAFA — 7.65
1 for Carlos Ohene, marked 7.65, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
Squad23 Nov 2026
Words exchanged at WAFA
Wasiu Falolu 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.
Loan watch23 Nov 2026
“I did not go to Ashanti Gold to sit and watch. I want to come back to WAFA and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 15 matches say the rest.
Match21 Nov 2026
A 1‑1 draw with Bechem United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
Squad23 Nov 2026
A row about effort at WAFA
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joseph Owusu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad23 Nov 2026
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
The manager makes an example of Daniel Moffi
“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.

Squad16 Nov 2026
A falling-out at WAFA
Ernest Partey and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Loan watch16 Nov 2026
“I did not go to Medeama to sit and watch. I want to come back to WAFA and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.
Squad16 Nov 2026
A row about effort at WAFA
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and a squad player was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
“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.
Looking ahead16 Nov 2026
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Francis Acquah’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and WAFA needing him to play as if none of it matters.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
Daniel Moffi asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

No sign of nerves from Andre Paintsil at 21 — 7.60
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Andre Paintsil did not need any: 7.60, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
Match3 Oct 2026
The wait goes on for WAFA
4 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.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
A goal and an assist for Ernest Partey — 7.87
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.87 beside his name.
Match3 Oct 2026
WAFA leaking at the back
4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.
Squad5 Oct 2026
A falling-out at WAFA
Wasiu Falolu and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Loan watch5 Oct 2026
“I watch every WAFA game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Inter Allies runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Too much change too quickly at WAFA
6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Match26 Sep 2026
A hiding for WAFA
Beaten 0‑3 by BA All Stars, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

A row about effort at WAFA
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Wasiu Falolu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Boardroom28 Sep 2026
Inquest at WAFA
The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
Squad28 Sep 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Loan watch28 Sep 2026
“I watch every WAFA game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Ashanti Gold runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Andrew Adjei left the room before anybody could ask which.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
“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.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Chances created: 7. Nothing on the scoresheet and everything in the match: the pass before the pass, over and over, until the defence stopped guessing right.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
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.
