Match30 Jan 2027

De Graafschap run riot against Jong Utrecht

11‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A day Reuven Niemeijer 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Fedde de Jong takes the match ball home

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

Market1 Feb 2027

Antoine Lejoly asks to leave De Graafschap

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad1 Feb 2027

47 days out for Jasper Promes after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. De Graafschap will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Jevon Simons, 21, steals the show — 7.91

Marked 7.91 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

Silvan Bröker keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” De Graafschap may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

De Graafschap close the window on a squad of their own making

2 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A falling-out at De Graafschap

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

From our football correspondent Steady

Market18 Jan 2027

Silvan Bröker puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at De Graafschap, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Maxence Rivera is a medical away from De Graafschap

The deal with Heerenveen is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at De Graafschap

Reuven Niemeijer 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

At 21, Jevon Simons is already the best thing here

An average of 7.06 in a first team he is several years too young for. De Graafschap have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Twente tell De Graafschap: Robbin Weijenberg is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Jannes Wieckhoff 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

This league is too small for Jizz Hornkamp

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. De Graafschap will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Nolan Martens

“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 dugout18 Jan 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Georginio Weghorst was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the De Graafschap dressing room was either.
