Young Ajax in the Jupiler League

[SPL]

Another defeat but 2-1 away to top place Roda is decent especially with a few players injured or on 1st team duty.We are still bottom.

They scored on 14 but Chourak pulled it back on 39,the winner on 66.Subs in 2nd half Sarfo for Kalokoh,and Verschuren for Agougil with Appiah and Ebite making their debuts for Jermoumi and Muzambo.

[SPL]

Home to Willem and several players injured or moved to 1st ,Hlynsson and Martha

Setford,Gooijer,Aertssen,Kaplan,Agougil,Brandes,Chourak,S-Eddine, Godts,Banel,Muzambo

subs De Graaff,Sarfo,Kalokoh,Verschuren,Speksnijder,Gorter

Kaplan to play 45 mins which is good news and hope he keeps fit.S-Eddine plays MF again at Jong but Agougil is a MF although he can play as a left side defender.Bench very weak,Sarfo ok ,Kalokoh decent but the other 3 are just u18 players.

The game is live on ESPN but I am not bothering trying to find illegal streams.

[Orange14]

I watched the 2nd half when I returned from my afternoon walk. Jong Ajax were already up 1-0 with an early goal from Muzambo. Defense looked pretty solid to me and Setford only had routine saves to make. Ends up 1-0 for the 2nd win of the season. this was a good win as Willem II came in as 2nd place team. level on points with Roda.

[SPL]

A great win and takes us off the bottom.Kaplan evidently had a very good 45 mins ,being replaced by Verschuren but clearly did not make any difference as defence held out . Gorter, a non contracted U18 MF, for Chourak midway in the 2nd half and Kalokoh and Sarfo for Banel and Muzambo late subs.

Hope Jong have turned the corner and can pick up points but they do have injuries.However they are producing players for the 1st which is the purpose.

[Amol]

Hopefully the Jong also starts getting some wins under their belt. Glad to see that we're off the bottom in both the Eredivisie and the Eerste Divisie.

[SPL]

Finished 1-1 which is a good result ,Godts with a good goal on 23 ,they scored 68.

At Ht Kaplan.Jermoumi and Martha were replaced by Sarfo,Agougil and Verschuren, which weakened our defnce but only 1 goal conceeded.Kalokoh for Godts and Gorter,still non contracted,for S-Eddine other subs.

We are now 17th and catching up teams above but more important Jong Utrecht only 3 points ahead.

[SPL]

VA Dongen and Misehouy both back in training

[SPL]

We won 1-0 thanks to a 24th minute goal by Mika Godts.Ajax then held on and Oss did not seem to create much.

subs ,on the hour mark Sarfo,Gorter and Kalokoh for Kaplan,Vos and Godts with Alders for Chourak for the last few minutes.

We are now up to 17th with 13 points and Jong PSV and Utrecht both on 16 just ahead.

[SPL]

Home to Helmond Sports and about to start. Avila plays in place of Kaplan and Gorter for Vos ,the only 2 changes from those who started the last game. Still some good players still injured.

subs De Graaff,Sarfo,Chahid,Kalokoh,Alders,Speksnijder,Verschuren

[SPL]

A fine 4-1 win tonight although they scored 1st ,Godts an OG .They got a red after 31 mins so we were lucky to play for over an hour against 10 men. We had a good 2nd half with Banel on 48 and Godts on 59 taking us into the lead. 2 late goals Muzambo on 89 and Banel ,his 2nd on 92 both assist by Sarfo a sub.

Subs Kalokoh for Gorter after Ht, Chahid for Godts just after the hour Sarfo for Chourak on 78 and Verschuren for Agougil late on.

We now have 16 points but still 17th,however Jong PSV,Utrecht and MVV are now ahead only on Gd . We have to play PSV and Utrecht in December so would be nice to collect 6 points

[SPL]

Away to Den Bosch , who are below us, but they scored after 4 mins , We again have avery young side out and having played on Monday we could come unstuck tonight .

Setford,Gooijer,Aertssen,Kaplan,Agougil,Brandes,Chourak,Gorter,Banel,Kalokoh,Godts

subs De Graaff,Sarfo,Chahid,Speksnijder,Alders,Janse

Muzambo missing but hopefully he may be going to NEC as he is really a MF not a winger where he has been playing.

[SPL]

A good result as we drew 3-3 but bad news Godts went down with what looks like a bad knee injury in ET.Could be ligaments so season end!!

We were 2-0 down on 9 mins but Gooijer pulled one back on 12. They made it 3-1 on 39 and it stayed like that until the last 10 mins. Gooijer playing at LB from the hour, scored on 83 and Godts made it 3-3 with a pen on 88.

A good comeback for a very young inexperienced team but overshadowed by a potential bad injury to our best player.

subs Sarfo for Kalokoh at HT , just after the hour Janse,Alders and Speksnijder for Kaplan,Agougil and Gorter.Chahid for Chourak on 70.

[Orange14]

Godts injury was on artificial turf.

[SPL]

Just confirmed Godts has a hamstring injury and not a knee. Many posters on Showtime felt like me it was a knee ligaments.Great relief for the boy although it may be a month or 2 but could have been a lot worse.

Artificial pitches should not be allowed in KKD .Think it will be 2025 before they are banned from Eredivisie.

[Amol]

So glad that it's a hamstring injury and not knee ligaments as many had feared. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

[SPL]

About to play Jong Utrecht at home but we normally struggle against other Jong sides.

3 points tonight with a 2-1 win .They scored 1st but Kalokoh made it 1-1 ,the Ht score.Muzambo made it 2-1 and the winning goal in 61st min. At that point he ,Chourak and Gorter were replaced by Misehouy, Chahid and V A Dongen. Other subs Henry for Banel at HT and for the final few minutes Alders for Kalokoh

We now go 15th and above Jong Utrecht and PSV.We play PSV on Friday.

[SPL]

We play Jong PSV tonight and hopefully Misehouy and V A Dongen will be fit for a start and Kaplan gets more minutes.

I am out tonight a few drinks and curry with my pals in Brighton.They will all be happy with Albion last night. i wont be home to late but will catch the result and comment tomorrow

[SPL]

Kremers,Chahid Gorter NU

This is now halfway through the season ,we have played everyone once, and we lie 15th 3 points clear of PSV and Utrecht and we are now unbeaten for 7 games.A great turn around after a bad start and considering we have had injuries to key players and others like Hlynsson ,Vos and Martha are now 1st teamers.

We have a game v Eindhoven next Sat ,the last before the winter break.

subs Kremers,Alders,Speksnijder,Ebite,Boerhunt,Gorter,Agougil

I see Muzumbo ,who played in the last game,is missing.Having said he wants to leave I assume he is now left out.

[SPL]

Finished 2-2 Sarfo on 4 mins, they scored 12 to make it 1-1 .Misehouy on 56 to make it 2-1 but they pulled back on 69. A good result away from home with a few u18 used.

We finish 15th on 22 points at the winter break.

Dave Vos confirmed he has no knowledge from the club that Muzambo is leaving and he was sick tonight otherwise would have played.

subs Kremers,Agougil,Brandes,Verschuren,Gorter,Speksnijder,Vink

I see a delegation from Girona are here tonight regards Misehouy.Ajax seem to have given a deadline to agree a contract but this now expires. He is going to the Man City group who own Girona.He said he wanted perspective but he is just going for money and stringing Ajax along .
