From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

No end in sight to Roda's wait for a win

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

Market

Renan Oliveira asks to leave Roda

“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.

Squad

Real improvement from Koen Jansen at Roda

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Koen Jansen is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Mats Deijl in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Roda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Gaoussou Diarra 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.

Squad

Renan Oliveira wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Roda know it.

Match

Excelsior take the points off Roda

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces

Roda supporters have found a favourite in Gaoussou Diarra

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Gaoussou Diarra has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Gaoussou Diarra

Marked 8.70 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The Roda Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Maher Carrizo

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Bram Marsman 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 The request is on a desk at Roda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Dario Van Den Buijs in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Roda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Roda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorrit Smeets 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

Roda come up short against Willem II

Willem II left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Marco Tol

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

Match

Jack Cooper-Love answers Willem II immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Jack Cooper-Love had Roda level again within 2 minutes, and Willem II never got to play with a lead at all.

Market

Talks stall between Roda and André Sousa

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Cain Seedorf dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
