Match

The wait goes on for Hasaacas

14 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.

Match

A hiding for Hasaacas

Beaten 0‑4 by Aduana Stars, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match

Hasaacas are in real trouble now

Position 15, 10 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Hasaacas

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings

Yaw Kyereh runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Fred Dabanka 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

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Hasaacas dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑4 defeat, delivered by Amos Ayew to a room that had heard them before.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Hasaacas

11 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

8 saves: Andrew Inusah was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

16 days out for Thomas Owusu after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Hasaacas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Joseph Djiku

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Simon Obonde signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Simon Obonde commits to Hasaacas for another 4 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Hasaacas

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Fred Dabanka

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

Match

Hasaacas come up short against WAFA

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

The dugout

Amos Ayew 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.

In brief

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

a squad player breaks a bone — 50 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 50 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Kwame Amoah puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hasaacas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Asante Kotoko come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Hasaacas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

Market

Hapoel Kfar Saba join the queue for Albert Wakaso

Add another name to the list: Hapoel Kfar Saba have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Albert Wakaso. The answer from Hasaacas has not changed — yet.

Squad

Felix Acquah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Felix Acquah and Hasaacas agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Amos Adjei placed on the list

Hasaacas have made Amos Adjei available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edmund Bukari 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

Albert Paintsil 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.
