This cold also has its good side – no 96 player had to go into the ice bin afterwards. However, after the draw it is also clear that the little 96 hope for promotion has to be trashed.

The necessary third win in a row did not succeed against Paderborn. This means that Kenan Kocak’s not always cool gait has an improved rate in the new year. Won five out of eight games and draw once – that still makes an average of two points per game. If 96 had consistently collected something countable, with 68 counters you would be close to your goal of promotion.

Individual review: So the players of Hannover 96 were against SC Paderborn in form

Michael Esser – Grade 2: Loudest 96 in the silent stadium. It’s up to Vasiliadis to have a super chance, Hübers then helps. Lightning-fast reaction even with Bijol’s somewhat unsuccessful rescue attempt.

November low too high a burden
Had, had, polar bear chain – the fact is that such calculations no longer help. This is mainly due to the November low, when in the four games against Fürth, Aue, Würzburg and Kiel only one point out of a possible twelve was scored. Makes a lousy cut of 0.25 points per game this month.
The team is still suffering from this athletic ice age. As in a sled race where the competition is already at full speed and well ahead, 96 had to hope that the front runners would fall. And couldn’t lose pace for a moment. That was too hot a task, which the team probably finally failed.
The following direct duels against Düsseldorf and Fürth offer another chance to shorten the gap. But the dream of the Bundesliga is now in the freezer. Hard to believe it can be thawed again.
