Anthony van den Hurk breaks a bone — 40 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 9 of the 31 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Joey Müller puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Roda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Roda
Dario Van Den Buijs 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.

Graduation day at Roda
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Cain Seedorf stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Cain Seedorf and Roda agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The goals have deserted Roda
3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Roda can tell you which week it ends in.
