The Kokand 1912 Gazette
Player ratings18 Sep 2028
Shahzod Akramov beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 37. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Match16 Sep 2028
No end in sight to Kokand 1912's wait for a win
10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kokand 1912 has to find a result from somewhere.

Javohir Husanov 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 Kokand 1912 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Kokand 1912
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bogdan Bogdanović was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match16 Sep 2028
Kokand 1912 come up short against Obod
Obod left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Looking ahead18 Sep 2028
Everything rides on Shortan
Both clubs in the mire, one fixture between them, and a ground that will be louder and more frightened than at any point in the season. Kokand 1912 know what is at stake and so does everybody in the away end.
The dugout18 Sep 2028
Javohir Husanov left out for the big one
A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Javohir Husanov will call it something else in private.
The dugout18 Sep 2028
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Farhod Ganiev to a room that had heard them before.

Kokand 1912 sign Yakov Chkalov, one for the future
Yakov Chkalov is 18, and Kokand 1912 have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Iqboljon Malikjonov
