Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Eldor Hasanov

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obod lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

10 matches without a win for Obod

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Obod are no longer polite ones.

Match

Obod cannot find the net

7 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words exchanged at Obod

Filip Sredojević 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.

Match

Obod come up short against Metallurg

Metallurg left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

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 0‑1 Islom Komilov left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Sardor Tukhtasinov 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 dugout

Abdulla Suyunov 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.

The dugout

Nemanja Ilić 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 Nemanja Ilić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Eldor Hasanov

33 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obod lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

The wait goes on for Obod

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

Obod bow out of the cup

Pakhtakor go through and Obod go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

Obod are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 8 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match

6 matches without a goal for Obod

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 6 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Home is on Filip Sredojević's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Obod are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Real improvement from Muhammadiyor Marifaliyev at Obod

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Muhammadiyor Marifaliyev is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Mahmud Jo'raboyev 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 Obod this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Obod come up short against Mashal

Mashal left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Eldor Hasanov out for 40 days

40 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Obod lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Doniyor Masharipov 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.

Squad

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jaloliddin Suyunov 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Husan G'anijonov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Husan G'anijonov, and the manager let it.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Doniyor Masharipov's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Looking ahead

Mahmud Jo'raboyev goes back to face Mashal

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Mahmud Jo'raboyev’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Obod needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The terraces

The mood at Obod has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad

The knee: Eldor Hasanov out for 47 days

47 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Obod lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

The wait goes on for Obod

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout

Mahmud Jo'raboyev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Obod have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Otabek Suyunov 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 Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Obod leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Match

Obod cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Odil Akhmedov is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A falling-out at Obod

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