Match

11 matches without a win for Spartak Nalchik

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Spartak Nalchik are no longer polite ones.

Match

A hiding for Spartak Nalchik

Beaten 0‑3 by Druzhba, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match

5 matches without a goal for Spartak Nalchik

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 5 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Market

Nazar Gromov is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Spartak Nalchik is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Andemir Goguzokov 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.

Squad

David Sarbashev 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 Spartak Nalchik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Wages eat 121% of everything Spartak Nalchik earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Boardroom

Inquest at Spartak Nalchik

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Player ratings

Yegor Akimov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Spartak Nalchik — 7.43

1 for Yaroslav Shevtsov, marked 7.43, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Tempers go at Spartak Nalchik

Konstantin Kotov 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.

Squad

Soslan Lysenko 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Spartak Nalchik against Legion

1‑2 to Legion, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Konstantin Kotov

“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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Soslan Lysenko

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
