FC Utrecht has terminated the contract of coach Henk Fraser, after last saturday there have been a incident of Fraser grabbing player Amin Younes by the throat

[Nicky91]

Fortuna Sittard has signed croatian defender Stipe Radic after a successful 2 weeks trial, on a free transfer

and has let Mats Seuntjens go through the backdoor (i don't care anymore about him, he had a awful first half of the season since he was made captain and we have better so, Ozzy can also play on 10 maybe and he has a more powerful distance shot)

[Nicky91]

this weekend the return of the eredivisie, since world cup break

[Nicky91]

**** off, slow snails of Fortuna


Erdocrap more like instead of Erdogan


losing at home 0-2 to Go Ahead, more like mid table keukenkampioen division level


also subbing Embalo in half time when he was one of better players first half for a flop Buitink no less

[Nicky91]

2 chances, 2 goals, nice unexpected 2-2 draw vs PSV, where PSV were the stronger team, and we were down to 10 men thx to erdogan's red card, but amazing how we kept fighting for a point, and we got a point in 10th minute of extra time with a penalty by Yilmaz!


also the debut of Stipe Radic (quite decent i guess, got subbed but understandable if you want to start playing all or nothing, good on Velazquez being so risky, at the end of the day, doesn't matter if you go down 1-2 or 1-5, but 2-2 the risk paid off )


Cangiano didn't play yet, was too soon for him

[Nicky91]

shame this 3-1 away loss at AZ, but we played well enough


16 points is still decent at this almost halfway stage of the season


last week was a surprise point home vs psv anyway





next up home vs Heerenveen on wednesday, new round new chances

[Nicky91]

last weekend, Burak Yilmaz scored his 250th club competition goal in his entire career despite the 3-1 loss in alkmaar

[Nicky91]

solid 2-0 home win for Fortuna over Heerenveen, first home win again since October 2nd


1-0 Embalo (Yilmaz)
2-0 Yilmaz



comeback from Siovas too in second half The Greek Beast is back!!!!!!!

solid towards mid table for my Fortuna unexpected away 1-2 win over cambuur yesterday


Yilmaz our penalty killer

[Nicky91]

0-0 draw vs no.6 Sparta last night




although we could've had 3 points maybe but i fully understand not to fully risk losing that point either


we played well even Erdogan played surprising well in second half had to come in for Ferati whom had pains from first half


Bistrovic such powerful long distance shots, causing some trouble for eredivisie player of the month goalkeeper Nick Olij


our goalie Pandur also some incredible saves

PSV vs Excelsior

AZ vs Sparta Rotterdam

SC Heerenveen vs FC Volendam

tomorrow

FC Twente vs SC Cambuur

[Nicky91]

for next season RKC Waalwijk have to begin their search for a new manager

Joseph Oosting will leave after this season and signs as new manager of FC Twente, where Ron Jans recently has announced he is leaving to spend more time with his family

[Nicky91]

promoted for next season: PEC Zwolle, Heracles Almelo (will still be a battle between the two who is this seasons KKD champions and runner up though)

relegated are: FC Groningen, SC Cambuur


now mostly about who's heading for promotion/relegation play offs for the third ticket into next seasons eredivisie



battle for the title, almost certain going to Feyenoord

2nd place looking like going to PSV but not sure yet, also Ajax still has a tiny chance but they could also still lose their current 3rd place to AZ


for the europa play offs so far in contention: Sparta, FC Utrecht, RKC Waalwijk, SC Heerenveen and a slight chance for NEC maybe

for safer direct european cup tickets: AZ, Twente but Twente could also still go into those play offs and Sparta stealing their 5th spot

[Nicky91]

Feyenoord are the champions of this seasons Eredivisie


promoted are: Heracles Almelo (champions of KKD) PEC Zwolle

relegated are: FC Groningen, SC Cambuur


to the play offs for promotion/relegation

FC Emmen (16th place eredivisie)



round 1 matches

FC Eindhoven - Almere City

VVV Venlo - Willem II

NAC Breda - MVV Maastricht





last matchround of eredivisie next weekend

some crucial ones to decide whom end in places 5-8 for european conference league ticket play offs

and who finishes in 2nd (for qualifyings CL) 3rd, 4th places (qualifyings for europa league)
