Match

No end in sight to Excelsior's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Excelsior has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gyan de Regt

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Excelsior training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Irakli Yegoian 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.

Loan watch

Rayvian Job counts the days

“I watch every Excelsior game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Cambuur runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Lennard Hartjes 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.

Match

Gyan de Regt rescues a point for Excelsior

It needed Gyan de Regt to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against ADO Den Haag, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ruben van Bommel

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

The wait goes on for Excelsior

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

“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.

Squad

Excelsior keep their word to Ruben van Bommel

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Player ratings

Noah Naujoks stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.03 on the card, and the Excelsior support went home talking about one name.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Irakli Yegoian 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

No hiding place for Jerolldino Bergraaf

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

Player ratings

Ruben van Bommel was the difference for Excelsior

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

A bad afternoon for Excelsior against Ajax

0‑1 to Ajax, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Excelsior training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kasey Bos 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gyan de Regt

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
