Player ratings

Nobody could get near Miliano Jonathans

Successful dribbles: 47. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Maarten Paes is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Maarten Paes: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Utrecht through in the cup

A 1‑2 win over Willem II, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Utrecht through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Willem II, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

The wait goes on for Utrecht

4 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Utrecht

Miguel Rodríguez 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Kevin Gadellaa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kevin Gadellaa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Utrecht the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Loan watch

Bright van Dijk wants to come home

“I did not go to NEC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Utrecht and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 22 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

One of those days for Yoann Cathline

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.49, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Fredrik Aursnes 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 Utrecht this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Kevin Gadellaa has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Utrecht they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Miguel Rodríguez

Marked 9.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Miguel Rodríguez the difference as Utrecht beat ADO Den Haag

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Miguel Rodríguez. 2‑1 against ADO Den Haag, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

One of those days for Dani de Wit

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.53, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Victor Jensen

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Pedro Marun out for 47 days

The medical room confirms 47 days on the sidelines for Pedro Marun, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Kilian Nikiéma lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Loan watch

Bright van Dijk wants to come home

“I did not go to NEC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Utrecht and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 18 matches say the rest.
