February & March Match Reports Part 2
Friday 7th March 2014 – Jupiler League – de Vijverberg, Doetinchem – Att. 8,682
De Graafschap 2 – 0 Jong PSV
Veerman (40)
Loof (58)
Another win and the run continues! Points are racking up and we are closing in on that first place automatic promotion spot. Veerman is playing much better since the turn of the year and the lads are all gunning for promotion now.
Monday 10th March 2014 – Jupiler League – Grolsch Veste, Enschede – Att. 1,883
Jong FC Twente 0 – 1 De Graafschap
Baldé (38)
I think this was our best every performance in a game to date. We had 71% possession, 17 shots on goal with 8 on target. Scoring only 1 goal does not do this game justice and I am extremely proud of the abilities of these boys. They have really come together and we have now stretched our run to 9 games unbeaten in the league since the winter break.
Friday 14th March 2014 – Jupiler League – de Vijverberg, Doetinchem – Att. 9,027
De Graafschap 0 – 0 Almere City
After 9 wins in a row this was disappointing. We seem to dominate possession, having 63% in the game but we don’t always score when we should. I couldn’t fault the effort of these guys over the last few months and have been extremely proud. We drew but the teams ahead of us drew as well and we haven’t lost out.
Monday 21st March 2014 – Jupiler League – Lavans Stadion, Helmond – Att. 3,237
Helmond Sport 2 – 3 De Graafschap
Veerman (30)
Veldmate (33)
Vincken (81)
What a game! From leading 2-0 to 2-2 to Vincken smashing in the winner. Neither team dominated and a draw was probably a fair result but the win was vital as Helmond are a team fighting for promotion as well and we are now above them in the table! To win away from home as well is a great effort in such an important game.
Friday 28th March 2014 – Jupiler League – de Vijverberg, Doetinchem – Att. 9,504
De Graafschap 4 – 0 Sparta Rotterdam
Vincken (11, pen 27, pen 32)
Jansen (64)
A great win against average opponents. Tim got his first hattrick of the season and the game was over after half an hour. The rise up the table continues and heading in to the final month, we play the one team ahead of us away from home. 4 more games left to push for the 1 automatic promotion spot!
