Match19 Oct 2026

Salyut are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 21 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match17 Oct 2026

11 unbeaten for Salyut

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Salyut did not have in the autumn.

No sign of nerves from Vadim Shilov at 18 — 7.65

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Vadim Shilov did not need any: 7.65, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Salyut — 7.48

1 for Alexandr Kanischev, marked 7.48, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Maxim Shabaidakov at Salyut

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Maxim Shabaidakov is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match17 Oct 2026

Salyut keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Maxim Kutovoy 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.

The terraces19 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Vadim Shilov

At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match17 Oct 2026

Salyut find a way past Rodina M

Rodina M made Salyut work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market7 Sep 2026

Alexandr Kanischev asks to leave Salyut

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Maxim Kutovoy 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Sergey Gaiduk 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Salyut are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Salyut counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Salyut now.

Market7 Sep 2026

The shop window has Nikita Ponomarev in it

Salyut have let the market know Nikita Ponomarev can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The armband comes off Vladislav Faskhutdinov

Salyut will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Squad7 Sep 2026

“I want to play”: Sergey Gaiduk speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market7 Sep 2026

Stanislav Bukatov is free to find somewhere else

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