Player ratings

Dmitry Usov, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.63

A mark of 7.63 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Vadim Shilov

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Textilschik have done the hard part with Zenit, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Denis Davydov is a Textilschik player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Andrey Yevdokimov 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 Textilschik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Dmitry Usov’s goal not enough for Textilschik

Dmitry Usov scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Sibir, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Transfer targets

Textilschik rebuffed over Khyzyr Appaev

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

Market

Textilschik promote Gleb Vasin from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gleb Vasin has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Aleksandr Gorbachev joins the Textilschik first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Aleksandr Gorbachev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Textilschik promote Gavriil Efimov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gavriil Efimov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
