RKC Waalwijk Preview
Verdict: Safe midtable
In recent years RKC did the impossible with some high
rankings throughout the seasons, and some spectacular
results. An impossible job, as RKC is only known in Holland
for it's grey role in Dutch Premier and it's role outside the
spotlights. It has all the looks it will be a same kind of season
for them this year, as RKC's squad is far from impressive
this season. They lost quite some important players and
regulars, and although their subs are good enough for RKC's
level I don't expect RKC to end up high on the table. They
will take their grey midtable position again, and will end up
anonymous this year.
