Squad

Nikita Shevchenko keeps Obod in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Jasur Fayzullaev asks to leave Obod

“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

Metallurg take the points off Obod

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Odil Suyunov 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.

Loan watch

Sherzod Komilov wants to come home

“I did not go to Qizilqum to sit and watch. I want to come back to Obod and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 25 matches say the rest.

Squad

Odil Shomurodov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Dostonbek Urunov says Obod went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Bobur Ganiev 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 Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Obod

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Loan watch

Farhod Tukhtasinov has seen enough of Ordabasy

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Obod, and 5 appearances in 18 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Obod share the spoils with Pakhtakor

A 1-1 draw with Pakhtakor leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Rustam Abdullaev 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.

Match

No end in sight to Obod's wait for a win

13 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Obod has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Murodbek Rahmatov says Obod went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Farhod Nematov 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 Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Obod bow out of the cup

Pakhtakor go through and Obod go home, 1-2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 11 of the 31 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Timur Ismailov keeps Obod in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

No end in sight to Obod's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Obod has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Bunyodkor take the points off Obod

Beaten 1-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Odil Tukhtasinov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Rustam Fayzullaev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Rustam Fayzullaev and Obod agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Bobur Ganiev makes his debut at 15

At 15 years old, Bobur Ganiev became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

Market

Timur Komilov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Timur Komilov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Obod.
