Nicky Souren wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Cambuur can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

A row about effort at Cambuur
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicky Souren was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Late, late show earns Cambuur a point
Minute 87, against Roda, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
