From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Twente through in the cup

A 4-3 win over Heracles, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

Daan Rots is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.45 with 8 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Lars Unnerstall 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

Twente and AZ take a point apiece

It finished 3-3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Loan watch

Pim Bruggink has seen enough of Cambuur

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Twente, and 3 appearances in 14 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

David Min finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Twente have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Still nobody has beaten Twente

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

Twente get the job done against Roda

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

Squad

Daan Rots is carrying Twente

3 goals and a season average of 7.27. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Taylor Booth has to sit this one out

A booking nobody needed, on a night the game was already won. Twente lose a player for the most avoidable reason there is.

Squad

Thomas van den Belt knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Twente, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Eric Klein placed on the list

Twente have made Eric Klein available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Twente up to position 2

42 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Twente sign Jizz Hornkamp for $4.6M

The paperwork is done: Jizz Hornkamp joins from AZ in a deal worth $4.6M. Now comes the harder part.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Twente

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sondre Ørjasæter

“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.

Market

A long bet from Twente on Eric Klein

He is 20, and nobody at Twente signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Taylor Booth is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.26 with 4 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match

Twente and Heracles take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Robin Pröpper knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Twente, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Ramiz Zerrouki has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Ramiz Zerrouki keeps the shirt for now, at Twente's convenience rather than his own.
