Marked for Kenneth Ogunjobi

The dugout

George Young says Kwara United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Kwara United

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

Squad

Oluwaseyi Ogunniyi 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

Kenneth Ogunjobi out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for Kenneth Ogunjobi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Pius Igwe

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Rangers International in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

Frank Eze asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

A falling-out at Kwara United

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kareem Yusuff

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Oluwaseyi Ogunniyi 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

Kwara United count the cost of losing Kenneth Ogunjobi

53 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Ikorodu City take the points off Kwara United

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Pius Igwe reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

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 0‑1 defeat, delivered by the manager to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniel Duvnjak

“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.

The dugout

The form table has caught Oghenekaro Moffi

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
