Jupiler Pro League to Eight points at Waasland-Beveren, nine in Oostende, Zulte Waregem and Mouscron. Go there but like Sporting Lokeren. The match that should not lose, was lost without a change. At home 0-3 the boot in against Zulte Waregem: that was not the plan.

How would Glen De Boeck feel? Know that you are beginning a gigantic and difficult story, that less than a week later much more difficult? How would Roger Lambrecht feel? It was in the last season under his wings, his child see it degrade? His life’s work, pats, offset. How would Killian Overmeire feel? More than 400 matches in the tricolore shirt. Lokeren is in his blood, clubliefde pur sang. In the twilight of his career at the port of 1B. A surprise is not, rather the chronicle of a death foretold. 14 points after 23 matches: sometimes figures say everything.

Hamdi & Nill

more Painful than tonight it is not. Calculated ex-Lokeren players Hamdi Harbaoui and Nill De Pauw counted Lokeren. Two players that the glory days at Daknam experiences. Two of the cups, the poules in the Europa League, the one after another season of play-off 1. Not so long ago and yet so far-gone times. And this is how it looks Lokeren with still 7 matches to go against a gap of 8 points with the nearest competitor. This right to withdraw? Fairy tales do not exist.

’t Was still, for the match party. Streamers and what rookbommetjes: the thuissupporters were ready to take their team to assist in what is becoming the match of the last chance. Unfortunately, fans make the atmosphere, not goals. How would the Lokeren-supporter feel?
