Match21 Dec 2026

KV Oostende sink to position 15

8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match19 Dec 2026

Chastening afternoon for KV Oostende

A 0‑3 beating by Waasland-Beveren was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad21 Dec 2026

7 saves: Lois Vertonghen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words at KV Oostende training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Benjamin Stambouli is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

David Ozoh 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.

Boardroom21 Dec 2026

Nobody left the KV Oostende dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

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 0‑3 Dries Chadli left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad21 Dec 2026

The formation has left Mateo Aguilar behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. KV Oostende will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Henry Lawrence

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to KV Oostende's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at KV Oostende has to find a result from somewhere.

Match28 Sep 2026

KV Oostende are in real trouble now

Position 15, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad28 Sep 2026

6 saves: Lois Vertonghen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Benjamin Stambouli 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at KV Oostende

Michaël Heylen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for KV Oostende against Charleroi

0‑2 to Charleroi, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout28 Sep 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 0‑2 Dries Chadli left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Thomas Tielemans

“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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Hakim El Mokeddem is a square peg at KV Oostende

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
