A fracture rules Nathan Kaninda out for 24 days

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

Jason Meerstadt says De Graafschap 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.

Tempers go at De Graafschap

Queensy Menig 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.

Anton Gaaei 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.

$466.7K lands at De Graafschap thanks to Fedde de Jong

A clause somebody insisted on years ago, in a negotiation nobody remembers, has just paid De Graafschap $466.7K. Fedde de Jong left a long time ago; the paperwork stayed.

Rick Jonkers told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Rick Jonkers has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at De Graafschap.

Naj Lulić keeps the receipts

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

Tempers go at De Graafschap

Anton Gaaei 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.

Match18 Sep 2027

Still nobody has beaten De Graafschap

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Real improvement from Rick Jonkers at De Graafschap

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Rick Jonkers is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Anton Gaaei has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Maher Carrizo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Milan Smits shuts the door

Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match18 Sep 2027

De Graafschap draw a blank against Cambuur

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Cambuur defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The Ibrahim El Kadiri question follows De Graafschap around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ibrahim El Kadiri’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
