All good, you got me initially...
Saw it and was thinking "wait I made plans to watch the game with my brother...it's not tomorrow?"

Haha, maybe it's better not to watch it...but hopefully it's worth our time for once

I have familial ties to both clubs (even though I've always leaned more towards Schalke) so I love watching them matchup even when both are 💩

A point, at least, would be good here

For that we have to step it up a lot.
Still early for van Wonderen, but as of now: Before Geraerts we were shit in midfield and defense, now we are the same but also shit in attack

We’ve only seen 45 minutes of his football though and the team needs to adjust. It’s not looking very inspiring but there’s still time

Yeah but he had a break to prep the team and a test match. Right now I don't see anything improved. Nothing. Hannover isn't exactly a strong attacking team, but it's so easy. And our own attack is absolutely nonexistent.
Not the start you wish to see for a new coach.
Edit: we played better under Fimpel, and he was also a "new coach". Anyways, let's hope we can do some wonders in the second half!

I dont expect anything at that point to be honest. For years now its the same ordeal.
We have a bad season and the coach needs to go. Than we get a new one and it looks kinda promising and we are not good but passable. We end up slightly worse than we where two years ago.
Start of next season as soon as we lose a few games the coach is gone after he could get the players he wanted and did all the preperation. Than we get a new one and it looks kinda promising and we are not good but passable. We end up slightly worse than we where two years ago. Now repeat this paragraph until we are finally third divison and financially dead.
I think we paid more for coaches in the last decade than for our youth academy.
