Bad news for the Dutch. The Duke of Parma hated the very concept of the Spanish Armada for three reasons:
1) Somehow in all the planning and discussion the fact that he lacked the craft to transport his army to England and the Armada would be sailing without such craft as well never actually came up as a concern.
2) The fact that the Armada's major ships couldn't get close enough to shore to escort his army, if sufficient troop transports somehow materialized, while Dutch warships which drew less water COULD get to his army for a distance of 1-1.5 miles, was also discounted.
3) In early 1587 the Duke of Parma's army in the Netherlands was at its peak, having taken key towns and at the greatest strength it had ever been in terms of manpower, supplies and coin. Then he was told to sit and wait for the Armada(which was delayed another year courtesy of Francis Drake), during which time he exhausted his supplies while Spain diverted promised support and his army crumbled from 30,000 men to 17,000 men due to lack of pay. Meanwhile the Dutch had more than a year to build new fortifications, strengthen old ones, lay in supplies...
If Spain isn't wasting time and vast resources on the Armada then Parma is advancing on Holland's core territories.
