14 matches without a win for Chertanovo
The run now stands at 14, and the questions being asked around Chertanovo are no longer polite ones.

41 days out for Artem Selyukov after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chertanovo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The step up is real for Igor Kuznetsov
At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The numbers do not look good at Chertanovo
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Words exchanged at Chertanovo
Ramil Gainullin and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

A bad afternoon for Chertanovo against Luki-Energiya

Ramil Gainullin beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Georgy Borisov 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.
In brief
- The dugout Lev Kharlamov faces the questions
- Looking ahead Chertanovo take on the side everybody is chasing
- The dugout A promise honoured for Arseny Tarasov
