Squad

103 days out for Justas Cernych after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Stumbras will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Stumbras turn down Siauliai for Arnas Valskis

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

Market

Edvinas Sernas hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stumbras can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stumbras

Arnas Valskis 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.

Squad

Words at Stumbras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikola Dimitrijević 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 Darius Dapkus

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

Match

Stumbras out of the cup

Suduva ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

A fracture rules Justas Cernych out for 111 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Stumbras will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Fiodor Sernas stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The terraces

Stumbras are taken apart by Suduva — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Market

Eyes on Arnas Valskis again

The phone has started ringing about Arnas Valskis again, and this time the name on the line is Siauliai. Stumbras are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Stumbras count the cost of losing Arnas Valskis

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

A falling-out at Stumbras

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

Player ratings

Edgaras Novikovas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Mantas Valskis 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.
