Market1 Jan 2029

Tristan Schenkhuizen 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 The request is on a desk at Fortuna Sittard, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings1 Jan 2029

Nobody could get near Juan Robles

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout1 Jan 2029

Christoph Gruber keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Fortuna Sittard may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match30 Dec 2028

4 matches without a win for Fortuna Sittard

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Fortuna Sittard are no longer polite ones.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Tempers go at Fortuna Sittard

Edouard Michut 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.

Match26 Dec 2028

Sparta Rotterdam take the points off Fortuna Sittard

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Words at Fortuna Sittard training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Victor Edvardsen 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.

Market1 Jan 2029

Victor Edvardsen is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Fortuna Sittard has been clear about where Victor Edvardsen stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout1 Jan 2029

No hiding place for Mattijs Branderhorst

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mattijs Branderhorst, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market16 Aug 2027

Nick Marsman hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fortuna Sittard can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

Nick Marsman: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Fortuna Sittard have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Sam Dalby is a medical away from Fortuna Sittard

The deal with FC Copenhagen is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Boardroom16 Aug 2027

Graduation day at Fortuna Sittard

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.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Fortuna Sittard rebuffed over Sam Dalby

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Copenhagen have kept their man, and Fortuna Sittard go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market16 Aug 2027

Fortuna Sittard promote Wesley Aké from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Wesley Aké has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market16 Aug 2027

Fortuna Sittard promote Donny De Vrij from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Donny De Vrij has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market16 Aug 2027

One of our own: Denzel De Jong joins the Fortuna Sittard first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Denzel De Jong is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match14 Aug 2027

Feyenoord end the Fortuna Sittard run at 4

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 4 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

In brief
