The former Dutch goalkeeper expressed disappointment with the 3-0 loss against Harm van Veldhoven’s side and insisted that his side’s missed opportunities in the opening half cost them three points at the end.

The Dutch trainer was all praise for his side’s good performance in the opening 45 minutes.
“All in all, we played nice football. Unfortunately, it was not our night. It was hard to get through the defence of Roda, and when we did, we failed to score”, Karelse was quoted as saying to the media.
Despite commencing the game at home impressively, the Yellow Army failed to break the deadlock. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robbert-Schilder-c31211 and Tim Gillesen all failed to hit the target in a half that saw goalscoring opportunities few and far between.
After the half-time break, Roda JC performed brilliantly and broke the deadlock near the hour mark through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruud-Vormer-c31967 sealed an impressive 3-0
win for the visiting side in the injury time.
NAC are sitting 15th in the league standings, only six points clear of the danger zone, and if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915 manage to emerge victorious against AZ Alkmaar on Sunday, April 22, it would reduce the gap to three points.
Nonetheless, the NAC boss has expressed confidence that his side will remain active in the highest echelons of Dutch football next term.
“I think six points are a nice margin. But I will certainly see what the results of this weekend are. It would be extremely unfortunate if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 drop points against VVV. Nonetheless, I am calm”, Karelse concluded.
The Breda outfit will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 in their next Eredivisie encounter at Galgenwaard Stadion on April 28. With only three matches left to play for in the ongoing 2011/12 season, Karelse would be hoping that his side bags maximum points in
the remaining games and end the season on a high.
