Won the penalty for his side's third and assisted on the fourth too.
Big performance. 💪
All action performance from Matthew Garbett this morning as his NAC Breda outfit dismantled Jong PSV 5-0.

As well as being the most fouled player on show, he nabbed his side's first goal, won a penalty, and laid on assist in what was a strong outing for the young Kiwi maestro. pic.twitter.com/DEGV3zADFB
The goal and the assist from this morning, since it wouldn't allow me to upload the clips directly.
Excellent performance, and the fan feedback seems to indicate that he's back, or at least getting back to last season's form after initial injury struggles to begin this campaign.

In a 5-0 NAC Breda win vs Jong PSV, he scored a goal, won a penalty, and assisted another goal
All stemming from his particular combination of high energy, dribbling from midfield, and sneaky passing vision#FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/HPEny9xU2E

Darije Kalezić still coaching in the Eerste Divisie. Now at one of the league's bigger clubs ADO Den Haag (4th). They host Breda next weekend
Matthew Garbett is suspended for the match against TOP Oss. He received his fourth yellow card last Monday. Because he took a yellow card from match 37 of last season, he is on five cards and will therefore miss this match.

3 week break now. Season at halfway point. Breda (8th) good chance to make playoffs. But already seems finishing top 2 (automatic promotion) is beyond them.
I think if you put Grizz Wylie in charge of the ABs now he’d struggle.
Kalezic did bring through Libby very early on. Other things he did like left footed right wingers might have worked with different personnel.
I think there must be some cultural differences too. You look at how Ten Haag has struggled with some man management. Then there was that guy who was coached the women here. I always remember Scott Galloway almost shaking on the sideline. I think he must have been very details oriented and rather impatient with repeat mistakes. And perhaps the same way the Kiwi casualness doesn’t mean laziness, there were aspects of the culture that didn’t translate well.
Back in that footballing some of his issues perhaps go away and his footballing heritage is better understood?
Really enjoyed chatting with All Whites midfielder Matt Garbett about his excellent 2023 for club and country. Audio at the link below. @newstalkzbsport https://t.co/A5p0ZWDJdm

Interesting chat about the state of play over in the Netherlands - Some good, and some bad... Intriguing to hear that, but a good insight into the state of play/the game over there.
Hopefully we'll see his NAC Breda outfit push towards promotion this season, although there is a little bit to do on that front.
Finally, good to hear brother Norman is looking for a deal as well, with him training and currently staying in France with his Mum. Big brother was never going to be giving too much away on that front though was he?

I've been obsessively looking for news on the Norman Garbett front.
I understand that Primavera 3 is a mickey mouse league...but he was riding on the back of a good
U20 campaign, I'm sure he could have found something? Especially since he should have an EU passport.
I always feel that taking a break as a young player is a risky move. Better to play somewhere than nowhere...different story when you're a seasoned pro, aged 26+ and can afford to wait for the right opportunity (in my opinion)

Matt Garbett, have mercy 🙌

Stunner of a goal from Garbs as NAC Breda came from 2-0 down to beat Emmen 3-2 in their first game of 2024#FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/DFjbI6SEEg
And as the Stuff article says for some larger context, Breda were down 2-0 away to one of their promotion playoff rivals, so a big goal in Breda's wider season as they come back to win 3-2.
Schitterende knal in de kruising van Matthew Garbett! 🚀💫#emmnac

First playing for the AWs he looks rushed spraying his shots wide. But now it seems he's sorted that out alot, which is going to be great going forward.

Matt Garbett wandered out to start for NAC Breda as he usual but he only lasted 14 minutes before he needed to be replaced with a shoulder injury. Crazy thing is he wasn’t even the first Breda player who’d been subbed off hurt in this game, nor would he be the last. Roy Kuijpers picked up an early knock while Thomas Marijnissen, the fella who replaced Garbett, also went off hurt in the second half. Opponents Helmond Sport played a physical game and the Breda folks weren’t chuffed about that. Maybe that contributed to the injuries, maybe it didn’t. Breda went on to lose 1-0 to a 90+5th minute goal.

Bad news here for All Whites and NAC Breda midfielder Matt Garbett ... he's dislocated his shoulder and is set to be sidelined for a few weeks.https://t.co/yWLLNPMqcm

On in the 27th min (Breda leading 1-0) in a 2-2 draw. Presumably a team mate injured to come on so early. Breda were 2-0 up, but their patchy form continues.

Missed one game after dislocating his shoulder.
Then played the next one.
Now has missed the last two.
