A falling-out at PWD Bamenda

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

Match29 Nov 2031

PWD Bamenda come up short against Panthere du Nde

Panthere du Nde left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout1 Dec 2031

Ambroise Mbarga: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad1 Dec 2031

Frederick Samuel Ndongue 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.

The dugout1 Dec 2031

Junior Nguimbat has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at PWD Bamenda will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad1 Dec 2031

Kadad Ning Che is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Kadad Ning Che has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout1 Dec 2031

Somebody else is better right now than Fabrice Mabouka

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout1 Dec 2031

The manager makes an example of Emmanuel Ntcham

“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.

Player ratings1 Dec 2031

Nobody could get near Junior Nguimbat

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match28 Apr 2031

PWD Bamenda refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 56 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad28 Apr 2031

Words at PWD Bamenda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nelson Djembe 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 dugout28 Apr 2031

Mamoudou Hassana gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mamoudou Hassana is on it.

The dugout28 Apr 2031

Daniel Edeh is still paying for one afternoon at PWD Bamenda

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout28 Apr 2031

The manager makes an example of Frederick Samuel Ndongue

“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.

Market28 Apr 2031

The Abdel Razack talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. PWD Bamenda know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout28 Apr 2031

The manager makes Gabin Allambatnan a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at PWD Bamenda. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market28 Apr 2031

The clock does Nelson Djembe’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee PWD Bamenda could ask drops and the wages Nelson Djembe can ask rise.

Boardroom28 Apr 2031

PWD Bamenda keep producing them

34 graduates from an academy now rated 7 out of 20. A club this size does not survive any other way, and every name on that list is known in the town.
