The wait goes on for Strogino
6 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.

The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 23 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Alexey Muldarov hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Strogino can pretend not to have heard.

Ramil Khuranov 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 Strogino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A bad afternoon for Strogino against Dinamo St Petersburg
0‑1 to Dinamo St Petersburg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Nikita Bogatikov 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.

Words at Strogino training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vadim Pastushkov 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.

Too much change too quickly at Strogino
6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Experience through the door at Strogino
Mariano Ghigo arrives at 38 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
