Newly-signed striker Bart van den Eede will make his debut for NEC Nijmegen in Sunday's match with ADO Den Haag.

NEC coach Cees Lok has had no hesitation in fielding Van den Eede who was signed on loan from NAC Breda and will take the place of the suspended Romano Denneboom.

Andrzej Niedzielan is happy that NEC have recruited another forward, saying: "I have trained with him only twice so far.

"But I can already say that he is good in the air and that's what we need now that Frank Demouge is out for a while.

"It's a pity that we must miss Denneboom against ADO, he is an important pawn in our game."

Lok has been conducting a post mortem into the defeat by Willem II and admits that NEC were simply not at the races on the day.

He said: "We were not sharp enough and we did not play according to our gameplan.

"We are all responsible and everyone should take their responsibility in the match too. I hope to see an improvement against ADO."

Den Haag coach Frans Adelaar must again do without injured pair Jamie Coyne and Edson and will adjust his starting line-up accordingly for the mid-table encounter.

Adelaar said: "The match against NEC is important for several reasons.

"First, the winners will stay in 14th place, the gap with the play-off places will increase and we have to redeem ourselves after last week."
