Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Ilja Grischenko

The month closes with Ilja Grischenko out in front — 3 goals in 4 games, and Kaluga have the division's most feared finisher.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Daud Daliev

Marked 7.45 across it, 1 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Kaluga have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

Arseny Khorin is the month's best young player — 7.59

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.59 over the month and 1 goal contributions, from a Rodina 2 player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Nikita Dorofeev 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 The request is on a desk at Irtysh, and it is not being withdrawn.

Rodina 2 turn down Yenisey for Svyatoslav Kozhedub

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

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Anton Shitov this month

4 assists, 6.53, and a Dinamo Vladivostok player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Rodina 2 man

Arseny Khorin averaged 7.59 over 2 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Artem Varganov’s move to Strogino falls through

The deal that would have taken Artem Varganov to Strogino has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Kuban with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Scoring charts

Ilja Molteninov keeps the pressure on

2 goals in 5 appearances for Kuban leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Scoring charts

Ilja Yurchenko up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Dinamo Vladivostok — 2 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Ilja Moseichuk

1 in 5 for Kuban. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Scoring charts

Dmitry Yugaldin keeps the pressure on

2 goals in 5 appearances for Kaluga leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Market

Vladislav Tereshkin is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Avangard has been clear about where Vladislav Tereshkin stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Nobody at Kuban has picked up the phone to Ilja Moseichuk

11 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The Igor Andreev story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Igor Andreev signs something — a contract at Rodina 2 or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
