Match

No end in sight to Holstein Kiel's wait for a win

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

Match

Holstein Kiel out of the cup

SC Paderborn ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Tempers go at Holstein Kiel

Leandro Brey 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.

Squad

Words at Holstein Kiel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adrián Kaprálik 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

The goals have deserted Holstein Kiel

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Holstein Kiel against Darmstadt 98

0‑2 to Darmstadt 98, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Philipp Krüger

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Holstein Kiel will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Steven Skrzybski

“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.

Loan watch

Luca Prasse has seen enough of Eintracht Braunschweig

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Holstein Kiel, and 2 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Wiebe Kooistra

Holstein Kiel and Cambuur have settled on $25.4M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Match

No end in sight to Holstein Kiel's wait for a win

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

The terraces

The mood at Holstein Kiel has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Holstein Kiel

A 0‑3 beating by Schalke 04 was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

The dugout

Leandro Brey: 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.” Holstein Kiel have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Raul Florucz

Holstein Kiel asked and Club Brugge said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

John Tolkin 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 Holstein Kiel, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Holstein Kiel turn down Darmstadt 98 for Mladen Cvjetinović

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Words exchanged at Holstein Kiel

Phil Harres 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.
