Krylya Sovetov had a frankly dire season last year and basically stayed up despite their best efforts to get relegated, edging past Nizhny Novgorod in a play-off clash even if they lost the second leg at home. A hard reset is needed in Samara for the Blues to have a better campaign ahead and at the moment things are not looking rosy for Miodrag Bozovic. He must have been hoping to have more additions to the squad by now but so far veteran Dmitri Kombarov is the only new addition and he is hardly someone to excite the fans. On the other hand, a few good players, some of them on loan, have departed and at the moment the Krlylya Sovetov squad looks short on numbers and quality in every area. Bozovic is a determined and experienced coach who insists on passing football and the hopes are that he has been able to instill more of that football in the squad, with players like Aleksandr Sobolev, back from loan, Paul Anton and Artem Timofeev showing more of their potential in the season ahead.

Target


Will be looking to steer clear of the bottom places after the struggles from last year but at the moment things are not looking too optimistic.
