The Colombe du Dja et Lobo Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad7 Apr 2036

Arthur Yene stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Arthur Yene and Colombe du Dja et Lobo agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Henry Tchikeu 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.

Fon Boris Kache 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.

Market7 Apr 2036

Talks stall between Colombe du Dja et Lobo and Édouard Sombang

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Clinton Ntcham 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.

Market7 Apr 2036

The Édouard Sombang question follows Colombe du Dja et Lobo around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Édouard Sombang’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match23 Sep 2034

Nowhere to hide for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

1‑4 against Gazelle Garoua, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad25 Sep 2034

8 saves: Khalid Muhammed was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match23 Sep 2034

The wait goes on for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match23 Sep 2034

No clean sheets in sight for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

6 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad25 Sep 2034

Tempers go at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Yvan Mvondo Olama 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.

The dugout25 Sep 2034

No hiding place for Khalid Muhammed

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Khalid Muhammed, and the manager let it.

Player ratings25 Sep 2034

Boris Bekale was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom25 Sep 2034

Inquest at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout25 Sep 2034

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 1‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
