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.

Market

Andreas Søndergaard hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hobro can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Lukas Kirkegaard 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

The manager makes an example of Martin Huldahl

“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

Andreas Søndergaard 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.

Market

Hobro sign Danilo, one for the future

Danilo is 20, and Hobro have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Match

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

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.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Hobro boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market

Mikkel Pedersen asks to leave Hobro

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Lukas Falk 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.

Market

Matías Malvino 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

Kenay Myrie 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.

A one-man rearguard from Andreas Søndergaard

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.

Squad

Andreas Søndergaard keeps Hobro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Hobro are in real trouble now

Position 12, 7 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

Benjamin Rasmussen 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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Théo Hansen commits to Hobro for another 4 years.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Jens Jønsson

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market

Hobro put Mikkel Pedersen up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Mikkel Pedersen may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Hobro and Jens Jønsson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match

Hobro and SonderjyskE take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Match

No goals between Hobro and Aalborg

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Aalborg will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

The shirt belongs to Jens Jønsson now

At 34 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. Hobro have a decision that made itself.

Squad

Andreas Søndergaard 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

Hobro out of the cup

FC Nordsjaelland ended it 0-0. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match

Hobro get the job done against Esbjerg

A 1-0 win over Esbjerg, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Hobro lose Matías Malvino

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

“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.
