Player ratings

Kirill Goncharik runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 49. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Pavel Vakulich 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 Ostrovets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Ostrovets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matvey Papulin 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

Lokomotiv Gomel bow out of the cup

Isloch go through and Lokomotiv Gomel go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Eduard Pavlov 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.

Match

Egor Kavalyou sends Lokomotiv Gomel past Uni-X Labs

It finished 1‑0, and it was Egor Kavalyou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Lokomotiv Gomel.

Squad

Words at Lokomotiv Gomel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Malevich 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

Vadzim Dragun 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.

Player ratings

Egor Kavalyou stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.79 on the card, and the Lokomotiv Gomel support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Uladzislau Kislyak signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Uladzislau Kislyak commits to Lokomotiv Gomel for another 3 years.

Player ratings

Pavel Sivakov spends the afternoon fouling

Fouls conceded: 11. He was booked, he was fortunate not to be booked twice, and the referee had run out of patience long before the end.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dzmitry Kendysh

Successful dribbles: 9. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Lokomotiv Gomel say no — this time

The offer from Dinamo Minsk for Vadzim Noyok was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Pavel Sivakov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pavel Sivakov and Lokomotiv Gomel agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Eduard Pavlov 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.

Market

Orsha watching Vitaliy Filipenko

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Nazar Chizh

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Words at Lokomotiv Gomel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrei Filipenko 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.

Market

The Egor Hleb conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Ostrovets will make the call about Egor Hleb this week. Lokomotiv Gomel have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

Ivan Volodko is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Lokomotiv Gomel has been clear about where Ivan Volodko stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

No hiding place for Vitaliy Filipenko

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