Squad7 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Yegor Postrigan

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match5 Sep 2026

Orenburg 2 taken apart

0‑3 to Amkar, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market7 Sep 2026

Evgeny Bolotov 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 Orenburg 2 can pretend not to have heard.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Orenburg 2

Danila Vedernikov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Orenburg 2 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Evgeny Bolotov 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

SKA Khabarovsk are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Orenburg 2 will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Dmitry Cherkasov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Doors closed at Orenburg 2

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Maksim Chugunov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ivan Ivaschenko signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ivan Ivaschenko commits to Orenburg 2 for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Orenburg 2

Ivan Ivaschenko and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match1 Aug 2026

Orenburg 2 come up short against Volna

Volna left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Yegor Postrigan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market3 Aug 2026

Orenburg 2 and Ivan Ivaschenko are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Orenburg 2

21 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.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Maksim Chugunov left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Kirill Dudarin beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Orenburg 2

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