From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

Mohammed Djiku runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Ernest Appiah 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.

Market

Bernard Boateng has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Junaid Sait 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.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Edmund Asamoah’s exile

11 goals in 13 games at New Edubiase United — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Wa All Stars updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Player ratings

Gladson Paintsil takes the honours

Marked 7.94 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Wa All Stars had the best player on the pitch.

Player ratings

The cruellest goal, and it is Afriyie Djiku's

A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and Wa All Stars will not try tonight.

Match

Wa All Stars share the spoils with Bechem United

A 1‑1 draw with Bechem United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Harrison Asante 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings

Joseph Wakaso runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 60. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bernard Boateng

15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wa All Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Christian Addo 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 Wa All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Junaid Sait 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.

The terraces

Wa All Stars supporters have found a favourite in Mohammed Djiku

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Mohammed Djiku 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.

Match

Wa All Stars get the job done against Heart of Lions

A 2‑0 win over Heart of Lions, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Mohammed Djiku at his very best

Marked 8.01. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Wa All Stars.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Baba Gyan

Marked 8.00 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abraham Afful 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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bernard Boateng

22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wa All Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Wa All Stars

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Harrison Asante steps up from the Wa All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Harrison Asante has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Wa All Stars promote Kamaldeen Boakye from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kamaldeen Boakye has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Wa All Stars come up short against Berekum Chelsea

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

Market

Wa All Stars and Abbey Benson 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.

Squad

Francis Sulemana stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Francis Sulemana and Wa All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
