Marked for Patrick Blind

Squad3 Sep 2040

A fracture rules Jacek Czapliński out for 16 days

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

Squad3 Sep 2040

14 seasons of Finn Stam

528 appearances across 14 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Willem II know what they have.

Player ratings3 Sep 2040

Calvin Twigt goes up and wins it — 7.47

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.47 for the rest of it.

Market3 Sep 2040

Patrick Blind asks to leave Willem II

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad3 Sep 2040

Words at Willem II training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mateus Mide 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.

Squad3 Sep 2040

The manager makes an example of Facundo Moreno

“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.

Match1 Sep 2040

Willem II and NEC take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings3 Sep 2040

The afternoon belonged to Luka Reischl

7.58, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Willem II had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Player ratings3 Sep 2040

Nobody could get near Mateus Mide

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad20 Aug 2040

Devin Haen damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad20 Aug 2040

A fracture rules Jacek Czapliński out for 30 days

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

Squad20 Aug 2040

Jamil Reiziger says Willem II 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.

Player ratings20 Aug 2040

Bohdan Kyrykovych scores twice — 8.32

Two goals and a mark of 8.32 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad20 Aug 2040

A one-man rearguard from Elton Otto

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings20 Aug 2040

A defender's goal wins it for Willem II — 7.93

1 for Feike Muller, marked 7.93, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match18 Aug 2040

6 goals as Willem II and Heracles go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Willem II and Heracles, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match18 Aug 2040

Honours even between Willem II and Heracles

3‑3, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market20 Aug 2040

Elton Otto linked with a move away

The name of Elton Otto keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Willem II say nothing, which says plenty.
