subs De Graaff,Chourak,Boerhout,Kalokoh,Henry,Speksnijder, V A Dongen

Some players with 1st and Janse I assume after Dutch u18 this week will be playing for U18 in Cup tomorrow.Aertssen a regular CD is now out injured for the season

[SPL]

Lost 4-2 ,Agougil with both goals.At 2-2 with his 2nd goal we were still in the game but goals on 70th and finally 79th killed the game.
Subs after 57min mark VA Dongen,Chourak and Kalokoh for Vink,Wolff and Chahid. Late subs Boerhout and Speksnijder for Banel and Gorter.

2 weeks ago watching our U18 Alders,Gorter Vink and Wolff all played thus this lineup was very inexperienced. Hope VA Donegn can stay fit

[SPL]

Playing Den Bosch tonight .

De Graaff,Gooijer,Brandes,Janse,Martha,Vos,Fitz-Jim,Agougil,Banel,Rijkhoff,Forbs

subs Kremers,Sarfo,Chahid,Chourak,Boerhout,Henry,Alders,Gorter,Speksnijder

A strong team out that should beat lowly Den Bosch!

[SPL]

A 2-0 home defeat against the team joint bottom of the table .Yes a poor performance as usual against a lowly placed side.

They scored on 40 but a poor mistake by Brandes ,who is not a CD but a DMF , on 62 was it.

Only 3 subs Alders for Gooijer on the hour and after 70 mins Chahid for Agougil and Boerhout for Forbs .

Maduro was in charge tonight as part of his obtaining a full coaching license. Clearly did not do that great in motivating them but some of these lads are not going to get motivated.Forbs plus F-Jim and Vos. These last 2 have outgrown Jong but see moderate players like Tahirovic and Mannsverk underperforming in the 1st team and they get few chances.

Not many real talents in either Jong or U18. Hato and Godts are our 2 real talents. Vos, Rijkhoff and maybe Janse can break through .

I watched the last 25 minutes of the match. Fitz-Jim had a hard and good shot that clanged off the post but unfortunately not into the goal. There were a couple of other good changes. Vos had a great recovery run to prevent a player in on de Graaf following a cheap give away in the MF. As SPL said, it is hard to see any of these players making it to the first team. I love Fitz-Him's field awareness but he's really a light weight and cannot defend. Banel needs another year at this level. I'm not sure about Goojier and IMO, I don't think he is any better than Gaaei. It's just too bad that Gaaei was forced into the first team before he got acclimated to Ajax. I think Janse is a real good defender.

Home to Cambuur

Setford,Gaaei,Brandes,Gooijer,Martha, Vos, Gorter, Fitz-Jim,Boerhout,Rijkhoff,Forbs

subs Kremers,Chahid,Chourak,Janse,Ugwu,Henry,Speksnijder,Wolff

Apart from long term injured , Sarfo ,Agougil,Banel,Kalokoh all now assumed injured plus V A Dongen who sadly is never fit.

[SPL]

We won 2-1 Forbs on 76 and Rikhoff on 80 they scored on 94 mins right at the very end. Subs used Wolff for Boerhout after HT ,Ugwu and Chahid for Brandes and Gorter just after the hour mark and late on Janse and Chourak for Rijkhoff and Vos.

NB Janse had to play 90 mins for U18 on Saturday as they played PSV, U18 won 3-0 and top on Gd over Feyenoord. Ugwu and Wolff played about 30 mins each thus they could play longer today. Janse should be starting in every Jong game now as he has outgrown U18.

[SPL]

Away to Helmond Sports just ko'd

De Graaff,Ugwu,Brandes,Gooijer,Martha, Vos,Chahid,F-Jim,Boerhout,Rijkhoff,Banel

subs Kremers,Chorak,Henry,Gorter,Speksnijder,Wolff.

Ugwu starts but the other 2 U18 defenders Janse and Verschuren are wanted for the U18's as they look to be spring champs and playoff for U19 Champions league. Shows winning is still more important for our youths as Janse should now be starting for Jong.

[SPL]

Lost 3-1 and a poor performance. 2-0 down at Ht.Wolff missed a sitter and then Helmond made it 3-0 on 65 . Gooijer an 82nd consulation.

subs at Ht Henry,Wolff and Speksnijder for Brandes,Boerhout and Rijkhoff. In the 2nd half Chourak for Chahid and Gorter for Vos.

Just 3 games left ,Roda,VVV and Jong AZ

[SPL]

Home to Roda tonight.

Setford,Gaaei,Gorter,Gooijer,Martha,Vos,Chahid,Fitz-Jim,Boerhout,Rijkhoff, Banel

subs De Graaff, Kremers, Chourak,Henry,Speksnijder O,Neil (U18 MF) Bouwman ( U17 CD and has one sub appearance for U18)

Defence has Gorter a DMF at CD .A very weak subs bench. Our U18 currently playing Feyenoord and if we win we are almost certain to be spring champs ( A minute or 2 ago we were 2-0 up with 30 mins left)

Roda are on the verge of promotion and I would expect them to beat Jong easily

[SPL]

A surprising 1-1 draw they scored early Vos replied on 13 and it remained 1-1.

Gaaei went off injured on 23 ,Henry sub . At Ht Chourak for Chahid and in the 2nd half Speksnijder for Boerhout and Bouwman got a few minutes for Gorter.

[Orange14]

Vos was outstanding in the match. I suspect he may be more than a part time player for the first team next season.
