Player ratings

Nobody could get near Islamzhan Nasyrov

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Konstantin Polyakov says Ryazan 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Ryazan

David Sangaré and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Znamya Truda take the points off Ryazan

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

Squad

Ansor Khabibov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 297% of the Ryazan income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout

Lev Pushkin 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.

Market

No place for Yaroslav Martynyuk in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Yaroslav Martynyuk has his answer from Ryazan; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

Alexandr Trifonov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings

Ansor Khabibov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 51. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Nikita Pogrebnev

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Ryazan will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

David Sangaré 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 Ryazan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Ryazan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ansor Khabibov 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.

The terraces

Ryazan supporters have found a favourite in Ansor Khabibov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Ansor Khabibov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

No hiding place for David Sangaré

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

Match

Ryazan get the job done against Rodina M

A 1‑0 win over Rodina M, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Alexandr Barkov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

Alexandr Trifonov has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Alexandr Trifonov on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Boardroom

Ryazan close the window on a squad of their own making

16 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Ryazan rebuffed over Rohan Vaughan

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

Market

One of our own: Daniil Kombarov joins the Ryazan first team

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

Match

Ryazan see off Arsenal Tula 2

Three points for Ryazan, 1‑0 the final word against Arsenal Tula 2 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Alexandr Barkov at his very best

Marked 8.18. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Ryazan.

The dugout

A satisfied Alexandr Trifonov

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Alexandr Trifonov could afford to be generous.

The dugout

Ryazan pick somebody else ahead of Yaroslav Martynyuk

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Nikita Pogrebnev

9 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
