Match19 Aug 2026

The small margins put Orel out

Out, 0‑1 to Leningradets, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Arkhip Leonov 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 The request is on a desk at Orel, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Jakub Jakimiuk 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 Orel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody could get near Iasonas Kyrkos

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Evgeny Ushakov 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Emrakh Nabatov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

A defender's afternoon for Danila Sokol

Defensive actions: 14. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Point won or two lost for Orel?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Arsenal Tula 2? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A first senior shirt for Grigory Panov

Every debut is a small story about the future: Grigory Panov, 20 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Orel

Vadim Averkiev 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Kuban Holding watching Dmitry Kopylov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Orel have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Orel against Dinamo Bryansk

1‑2 to Dinamo Bryansk, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Emrakh Nabatov 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Iasonas Kyrkos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Costly mistake from Vadim Averkiev

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Vadim Averkiev knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 5 of the 16 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Vadim Averkiev signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vadim Averkiev commits to Orel for another 3 years.

Match1 Aug 2026

Zenit Penza take the points off Orel

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market3 Aug 2026

Orel and Evgeny Ushakov 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.

Nobody could get near Georgy Borisov

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market3 Aug 2026

Arkhip Leonov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Arkhip Leonov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Orel.

Off the pace: Nikita Korolev

A mark of 5.64 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
