62 mins (0-0) in a 1-0 win. His replacement came on & immediately scored the winner. Den Bosch went down to 10 men, a few mins later.

Won the penalty for his side's third and assisted on the fourth too.

Big performance. 💪

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.

This video also includes him earning the pen. Busy game for Garbett. The assist was a lovely weighted ball. Maybe the PSV senior team will take a look at him?? They once had a classy Kiwi midfielder.

No Garbett (yellow card accumulation) in a 2-0 win.

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?

Quality interview with Piney this afternoon. ⬇️



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?

Obviously not aware that one of Norman's team mates in the NZ U20s - Kian Donkers - is also in the Netherlands at NEC Nijmegen.

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)

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.

Similar to his goal against Ireland too if ai recall correctly. Certainly not afraid of having a hoof. Lad's got some range on him!

A feisty box to box midfielder, with a big engine, and now a goal scoring threat. If Breda don't get promoted, can see a bigger club making an offer. Love his combative attitude.

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.

Can't find any news on Garbett's injury, but he was the 2nd midfielder that came off for Breda in the first 15 mins. So not their night.

This seems to suggest a "slight" shoulder injury. Hopefully it's not too serious

From Flying Kiwis.

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.

That’s a bad loss in the context of their season. Pesky old Breda continue to swerve all over the place with their form. It’s also another unique injury for Garbs who dealt with a back issue during preseason, then got his ankle hurt in a challenge in the early weeks, and now has a shoulder complaint which looked pretty painful. No word yet on how severe it was or what his availability will be moving forwards.

MG makes an early return from his shoulder dislocation.

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.

No Garbett in a 1-2 loss. Breda drop to 9th.

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