January Results
After 2 winter friendlies, we were back to league action.
16/1/15 / De Graafschap v Roda JC
View attachment 283742
One of the most important games of the season. We came out the blocks quickly and were all over title rivals Roda JC. Andreas Pereira scored a quality free kick to put us 1-0 up, however we conceded yet another penalty which they converted soon after. We went in at 1-1 at half time, I rallied the lads and we came out flying again. After just 5 minutes we were back infront through a Kristopher Vida goal. We were still by far the better team, but at 2-1 it was always edgy. Dean Koolhof sealed the deal though scoring with only 5 minutes left off a Asdrubal rebound. A great result which puts us right on top of the table again!
20/1/15 / Achilles 29 v De Graafschap

This game was supposed to be played before Christmas but had to be rescheduled. They went 1-0 up early on, but we came back brilliantly and won the game 2-1 after 2 Dean Koolhof goals. Another important result for us.
23/1/15 / Jong Ajax v De Graafschap

A superb performance and result against Ajax's reserves, which included Viktor Fischer. Asdrubal played brilliantly scoring his first goal for the club, along with Dean Koolhof and Andreas Pereira.
30/1/15 / FC Eindhoven v De Graafschap

Another huge game for us, at title rivals and on-from FC Eindhoven. It was an edgy game and could've gone either way, but when Kristopher Vida scored for us in the 81st minute it looked like there could only be one winner. But Caner Cavlan was sent off, conceding yet ANOTHER penalty, which they scored and equalised with. A disappointing result considering we were winning so close to the end, but I would've taken a draw away from home before the game for sure.

Fixtures

Really happy to pick up 10 points from 12 after 4 really tough games in January all of which were close together. February seems like an easier month as we have 3 home games, but Helmond Sport will be no push overs especially away from home. Monthly updates now until the end of the regular season, which ends in April.
