Squad16 Feb 2037
A one-man rearguard from Joke Efevwerha
There were 16 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Frank Abora Duku scores twice — 9.34
Two goals and a mark of 9.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Squad16 Feb 2037
Defences have started doubling up on Frank Abora Duku
16 goals and a season average of 7.76 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Kénan Glougbé 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.

Remember the name: Joseph Appiah
He is 21, he is averaging 7.02, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.
Match14 Feb 2037
New Edubiase United get the job done against Hasaacas
A 3‑2 win over Hasaacas, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Market16 Feb 2037
The Bernard Agyemang talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. New Edubiase United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Market16 Feb 2037
New Edubiase United and Osman Asante 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.

Kénan Glougbé runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 7. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
