Market

Eduard Rios 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 The request is on a desk at Lokomotiv Gomel, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Lokomotiv Gomel close the window on a squad of their own making

0 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Lokomotiv Gomel rebuffed over Kirill Parmonov

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

Squad

Words at Lokomotiv Gomel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aliaksandr Nekhaichik 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.

Match

Bumprom Gomel take the points off Lokomotiv Gomel

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

The dugout

Dzmitry Rios: “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.

The dugout

Eduard Rios 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.

Player ratings

Yauhen Zhavnerchik beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 11. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Eduard Kendysh left out for tactical reasons at Lokomotiv Gomel

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief
