Marked for Guus Hateboer

Squad

A fracture rules Nick Viergever out for 133 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zwolle will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guus Hateboer

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zwolle lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Both of them Younes Namli's — 8.15

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Paul Wanner, 21, steals the show — 8.10

Marked 8.10 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 dugout

Thomas Bruns says Zwolle went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

IFK Norrkoping come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Zwolle did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Words exchanged at Zwolle

Naj Lulić 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.

Squad

Words at Zwolle training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simon Graves 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.

Match

Zwolle get the job done against De Graafschap

A 3‑1 win over De Graafschap, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

141 days out for Nick Viergever after a fracture

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

Squad

The knee: Guus Hateboer out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zwolle lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

No end in sight to Zwolle's wait for a win

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

Squad

A move Kelechi Idegwu would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Kelechi Idegwu is living that version at Zwolle, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Simon Graves 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.

Transfer targets

Utrecht tell Zwolle: Noah Ohio 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.

Market

IFK Norrkoping join the queue for Tom de Graaff

Add another name to the list: IFK Norrkoping have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Tom de Graaff. The answer from Zwolle has not changed — yet.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Koen Kostons

“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 dugout

Paul Wanner gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Paul Wanner is on it.
