Match

No end in sight to Victoriia Sumy's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Victoriia Sumy has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Victoriia Sumy

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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sebastián Bonilla

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Victoriia Sumy cannot find the net

5 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.

Market

Afran Ramazanov asks to leave Victoriia Sumy

“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

Tempers go at Victoriia Sumy

Vladyslav Khameliuk 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

Yuriy Dudnyk 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

Words at Victoriia Sumy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bartosz Talar 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.

Squad

Luís Pires wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Victoriia Sumy know it.

Market

Inter watching Rahid Guseynov

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

Squad

Mathias Blårud 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rahid Guseynov 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.

Squad

Emin Dadashov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emin Dadashov and Ravan agree another 1 years.

Market

Ravan and Rahid Guseynov 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.

Squad

Araz Medvedev knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Ravan, and both men came out saying it was fine.
