Squad20 Sep 2027

A falling-out at Club NXT

Nicolò Tresoldi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match18 Sep 2027

The run at home goes on for Club NXT

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Words at Club NXT training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sacha Marloye 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 dugout20 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of Naïm Amengai

“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.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

Nordin Jackers has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Club NXT will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

Leander Mertens: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market20 Sep 2027

Thibaut Van Acker told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Thibaut Van Acker has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Club NXT.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

No place in the plan for Nordin Jackers

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match18 Sep 2027

No goals between Club NXT and Patro Eisden

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Patro Eisden will be the happier side with the point.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Club NXT

Sem Audoor 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.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Lucas Delorge 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.

Looking ahead26 Jul 2027

A reunion for Thibaut Van Acker

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Lierse in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

When it matters, Sem Audoor plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad26 Jul 2027

The penny has dropped for Nordin Jackers

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Club NXT the difference is visible from the back of the stand.
