From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Obod

13 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.

Squad

Dušan Puletić 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 Obod know it.

Match

Obod come up short against Neftchi

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Aziz Mirzaev

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

Player ratings

Ibrohim G'anixonov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Abdulla Komilov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

A step back for Nodir Fayzullaev at Obod

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

The dugout

Jahongir Abdumo'minov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Asilbek Tojiddinov 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

The knee: Jahongir Abdumo'minov out for 107 days

107 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.

Market

Shohruh Shomurodov 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 The request is on a desk at Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.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

The wait goes on for Obod

6 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

The goals have deserted Obod

6 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Obod can tell you which week it ends in.

Transfer targets

$94.0K settles it between the clubs for Kamronbek Hamroyev

Mashal have accepted the money. What Obod do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

Asilbek No'monov is a medical away from Obod

The deal with Nasaf is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

Obod rebuffed over Nikola Stanković

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Nasaf have kept their man, and Obod go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

AGMK take the points off Obod

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

Abdulla Komilov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Abdulla Komilov after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

In brief
