Match

39 matches without a win for Lokomotiv Gomel

The run now stands at 39, and the questions being asked around Lokomotiv Gomel are no longer polite ones.

The terraces

The mood at Lokomotiv Gomel 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.

Player ratings

Ruslan Stasevich runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Uladzislau Ihnatovich asks to leave Lokomotiv Gomel

“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.

Match

The goals have deserted Lokomotiv Gomel

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

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Hleb Rios 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 243% of everything Lokomotiv Gomel earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Match

A bad afternoon for Lokomotiv Gomel against Slonim

0‑2 to Slonim, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Uladzislau Ihnatovich 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.

In brief
