Marked for Umar Eguavoen

600 Edition

Squad25 Jan 2038

Abass Lawal breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad25 Jan 2038

A one-man rearguard from Ameh Godwin

There were 7 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.

Market25 Jan 2038

Nasarawa United turn down El-Kanemi Warriors for Umar Eguavoen

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad25 Jan 2038

Umar Ada 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 Nasarawa United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match23 Jan 2038

Nasarawa United see off Enyimba

Three points for Nasarawa United, 2‑1 the final word against Enyimba in a contest settled by the finer margins.

One of those days for Abraham Okereke

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.73, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Words at Nasarawa United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moses Agbo 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.

Ninety minutes of Collins Onovughe at his very best

Marked 8.30. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Nasarawa United.

One of those days for Moses Agbo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.25, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad18 Jan 2038

A fracture rules Abass Lawal out for 131 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Nasarawa United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings18 Jan 2038

Age has not caught Umar Ada yet — 8.72

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.72 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market18 Jan 2038

Katsina United come back empty-handed

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

Umar Eguavoen 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 Nasarawa United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Ameh Godwin 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 Nasarawa United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings18 Jan 2038

Etebo Abacha runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match16 Jan 2038

Umar Ada the difference as Nasarawa United beat Warri Wolves

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Umar Ada. 2‑0 against Warri Wolves, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings18 Jan 2038

Samuel Nnoli shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings18 Jan 2038

Collins Onovughe was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.66. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
