Boardroom

Hobro spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Squad

Harrison Rhone keeps Hobro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Harrison Rhone puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hobro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Hobro count the cost of losing André Rømer

144 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

No end in sight to Hobro's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hobro has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Hobro

Frederik Dietz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Hobro come up short against FC Midtjylland

FC Midtjylland left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Lautaro Taboada

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lautaro Taboada, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Jordan Larsson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Hobro sink to position 11

11 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad

Harrison Rhone keeps Hobro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Hobro

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Frederik Dietz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hobro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Hobro come up short against Viborg

Viborg left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Harrison Rhone

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Harrison Rhone

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Anders Noshe: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hobro have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Zander Hyltoft has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Hobro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Frederik Dietz in a row with a teammate

A masterclass from Jordan Larsson

Marked 8.76 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

No hiding place for Lukas Klitten

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hobro, and it is not being withdrawn.

A one-man rearguard from Harrison Rhone

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Tempers go at Hobro

Frederik Dietz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

One of those days for Frederik Dietz

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.56, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Hobro see off Brondby

Three points for Hobro, 2‑0 the final word against Brondby in a contest settled by the finer margins.

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.57, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

No end in sight to Hobro's wait for a win

12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hobro has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Harrison Rhone

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Hobro

Position 11 and 6 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Hobro

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Hobro is running low.

Squad

Emil Søgaard: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hobro have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Frederik Dietz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hobro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hobro against FC Copenhagen

0‑2 to FC Copenhagen, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

André Rømer gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Frederik Dietz

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Hobro, and it is a cruel one.

Match

Hobro share the spoils with OB

A 1‑1 draw with OB leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

No hiding place for Oliver Dorph

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Oliver Dorph, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Lautaro Taboada keeps on missing

Shots: 9, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hobro has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Harrison Rhone keeps Hobro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Zander Hyltoft is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hobro is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Frederik Dietz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hobro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Harrison Rhone decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

The cup run ends for Hobro

0‑0 against Viborg, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

The wait goes on for Hobro

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ismael Cabrera

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Yasin Bilgin

Defensive actions: 24. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Hobro

André Rømer was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Christian Enemark shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Lautaro Taboada

Marked 8.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Hobro dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Costly mistake from Harrison Rhone

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Harrison Rhone knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Emil Søgaard gets it from the manager

Viborg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Hobro did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

4 matches without a win for Hobro

Squad

Harrison Rhone lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Player ratings

Théo Hansen gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Hobro lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

Squad

Jordan Larsson asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Boardroom

Hobro give the job to Interim Coach

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Harrison Rhone

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Théo Hansen

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 29 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Ismael Cabrera says Hobro went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

André Rømer was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Hobro lose Carlos Mendiola

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Frederik Dietz stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.65 on the card, and the Hobro support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jordan Larsson

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Hobro draw a blank against FC Nordsjaelland

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. FC Nordsjaelland defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Thomas Jorgensen is a Hobro player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

The shirt still fits. Oliver Schmeichel is back at Hobro, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
