A row about effort at El-Kanemi Warriors

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Oladimeji Dada was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Tempers go at El-Kanemi Warriors

Peter Umar 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.

Simon Ademola is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The Oladimeji Dada story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Oladimeji Dada signs something — a contract at El-Kanemi Warriors or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Thabelo Tshikweta has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Thabelo Tshikweta has written the date down.

Ibo Djebate knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at El-Kanemi Warriors, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Saagui Dzenyagha signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Saagui Dzenyagha commits to El-Kanemi Warriors for another 4 years.

Words at El-Kanemi Warriors training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oladimeji Dada 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.

Wisdom Magbisa 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.

Ademola Obi 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 El-Kanemi Warriors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Saagui Dzenyagha knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at El-Kanemi Warriors, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Risilanu Ismail linked with a move away

The name of Risilanu Ismail keeps appearing in other people's back pages. El-Kanemi Warriors say nothing, which says plenty.

Taiwo Obi has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at El-Kanemi Warriors 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.

The selectors could not leave Peter Umar out

6.64 across ninety minutes and a place in the division's team of the week. He was the best player on that pitch and everybody there knew it.

The dugout11 Oct 2032

The manager plants his flag on Risilanu Ismail

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Risilanu Ismail’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.
