Match19 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for FC Eindhoven against Almere City

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

Squad21 Dec 2026

Sven Simons 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Tempers go at FC Eindhoven

Edoly Lukoki 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.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Nathan Dijks left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Yvandro Borges Sanches beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Daan Huisman

“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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Player of the week: Sven Blummel

Somebody watched every match in the division at the weekend and decided he was the best thing in any of them. A small honour, and most careers end without one.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Edoly Lukoki has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at FC Eindhoven 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.

Looking ahead21 Dec 2026

Daan Huisman goes back to face Vitesse

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Daan Huisman’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and FC Eindhoven needing him to play as if none of it matters.

In brief

  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Edoly Lukoki
  • Squad Joep Koppert: “I am not a substitute”
  • Looking ahead Looking ahead: the trip to Vitesse

Match12 Dec 2026

FC Eindhoven run riot against Jong Ajax

21‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Sven Blummel takes the match ball home

5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A day Boris van Schuppen will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Age has not caught Rangelo Janga yet — 10.00

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 10.00 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Rangelo Janga takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Terrence Douglas takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

A brace, and Kevin van Veen takes the afternoon — 8.23

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Kevin van Veen provided it, and the 8.23 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

No sign of nerves from Enoch Mastoras at 20 — 7.65

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Enoch Mastoras did not need any: 7.65, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Devon Koswal goes up and wins it — 7.93

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Yvandro Borges Sanches runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Age has not caught Rangelo Janga yet — 7.82

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.82 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Daan Huisman 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Edoly Lukoki 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 FC Eindhoven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Daan Huisman 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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Still no ink between FC Eindhoven and Devon Koswal

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FC Eindhoven, another week without a signature from Devon Koswal.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

87% of the income goes out in wages at FC Eindhoven

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match31 Oct 2026

FC Eindhoven share the spoils with Roda

A 1‑1 draw with Roda leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Joep Koppert slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Joep Koppert is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

In brief
