He has to return next season, it’s a free hit for us really, a new forward who’s already on our books.
9th goal of the season (I think) for Davies.

Davies has pace, knows how to score and is direct. Three qualities our squad is missing. It would be a mistake not to use him next season, The qualities he has cost a small fortune to acquire.
I have no confidence in Bulut using him correctly (or at all).
I see the game finished 1-1 - perhaps Loramski can explain what this means for Kortrijk’s chances of staying up? Considering they finished bottom of the league, I’m guessing not a lot.
They finished bottom but one in the regular season and this is how the playoffs work.
Relegation Play-offs
The bottom four teams after the regular season play the Relegation Play-offs, a round-robin tournament in which they start with the full points obtained during the regular season. The teams finishing in third and fourth at the conclusion of the Relegation Play-offs will be relegated to the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League, the team finishing in second place has to play the winner of the Promotion Play-offs, with the winner of that match playing in the 2024–25 Belgian Pro League.

Promotion/relegation play-offs
The promotion/relegation play-offs are contested by the teams finishing in positions 3 to 6 in the 2023–24 Challenger Pro League, who meet in a knockout tournament with both semi-finals and a final over two legs and the highest season finisher always having home advantage in the return leg. The winner of the final plays the 14th place finisher of the 2023–24 Belgian Pro League over two legs. The Belgian Pro League team has home advantage in the return leg, the winner of the barrage will play in the 2024–25 Belgian Pro League, the loser in the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League.
Thanks, I actually understand that much more than I did Loramski's explanation
It looks to me then that, given Charleroi have a five point advantage, the best Kortrijk can realistically hope for is to play a team from the second tier with the winner playing in the top flight next season, so it would seem to me that drawing away at a team which finished above you in the table (albeit only on goal difference) is a decent start to the competition - win their home games against Molenbeek and Eupen and they should get second place.
They play Charleroi next Sunday and they did beat then 1-0 at home in February so they still have a chance of finishing first especially as
Charleroi only drew yesterday as well.
Difficult one perhaps?
Guess it was a signal they didn't want to send out about Colwill seeing the false platform he's been placed on .
I think Grant is a tidy player though so you can see why as it becomes bench warming time for Davies ?? Perhaps games is better at this stage of his life ?
Colwills wage would also be probitive for lower type of clubs
