Match

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

13 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

Nicolai Flø keeps Hobro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The dugout

Oliver Dorph 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Hobro

Marcus Ingvartsen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Hobro are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Squad

Daniel Anyembe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Nicolai Poulsen 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.

Match

Hobro come up short against SonderjyskE

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

Market

Talks stall between Hobro and Nicolai Flø

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces

The mood at FC Midtjylland has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Loan watch

Edward Chilufya keeps scoring at Beitar Jerusalem

24 appearances away from home and 16 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Midtjylland

Ousseynou Seck 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

Silas Novrup out for 58 days

The medical room confirms 58 days on the sidelines for Silas Novrup, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch

Nobody is scoring past Ovie Ejeheri at Hull City

7 shut-outs in 15 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Ovie Ejeheri has been having a lot of them.

Market

The Mikel Gogorza question follows FC Midtjylland around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Mikel Gogorza’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Elías Rafn Ólafsson has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Elías Rafn Ólafsson has written the date down.

The dugout

The manager plants his flag on Ousmane Diao

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Ousmane Diao’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

Squad

Word from the training ground: Ousmane Diao

The sharpest man in every session this week, by all accounts. Lines like this run the week before somebody’s run in the side begins.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Mikel Gogorza: 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.” FC Midtjylland have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Elías Rafn Ólafsson wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Midtjylland hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Boardroom

FC Midtjylland still without a manager

14 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.

Boardroom

FC Midtjylland move for Vitor Nogueira

The approach has been made to Criciuma and the answer is somebody else's to give. These things are settled in private and reported in public, usually in that order.

Market

Philip Billing linked with a move away

The name of Philip Billing keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FC Midtjylland say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes Elías Rafn Ólafsson a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at FC Midtjylland. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
