Match4 Oct 2029
NAC Breda come up short in Europe
0‑2 away to the standard of Slovacko. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Ismeal Kabia beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 31. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Cherrion Valerius asks to leave NAC Breda
“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.
Match7 Oct 2029
The wait goes on for NAC Breda

A bad afternoon for NAC Breda against AZ
0‑2 to AZ, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Daniel Bielica makes it 200

Rick Dost: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

A place in the month's best eleven for Noël Clerx
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Noël Clerx has come out of that comparison in the side, and NAC Breda have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
In brief
- The dugout Deyovaisio Zeefuik gets picked when it counts
- Squad A row about effort at NAC Breda
- The dugout A promise honoured for Kerr Smith
