Market

Fiodor Novikovas asks to leave Siauliai

“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.

Squad

Deividas Kuklys 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 Siauliai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rokas Dapkus 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.

Squad

Justas Paulauskas decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Cup progress for Siauliai

A 0‑0 win over Trakai, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Siauliai turn down Trakai for Rokas Dapkus

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Siauliai

Linas Eliosius 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.

Player ratings

Edvinas Dapkus shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Tadas Novikovas

Defensive actions: 18. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Ignas Novikovas

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Fiodor Girdvainis

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Rokas Klimavicius stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Rokas Klimavicius and Siauliai agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Eyes on Rokas Dapkus again

The phone has started ringing about Rokas Dapkus again, and this time the name on the line is Trakai. Siauliai are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Saulius Mikoliunas knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Saulius Mikoliunas trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
