After its defeat in Grenoble (3-2) during the 11th day of Ligue 2, Stade Lavallois finds itself 17th in the championship and therefore in a relegation position. A first this season.
The Stade Lavallois season had started well with two wins in three matches. But since the end of August, too many points have flown away : in Nîmes, against Pau, against Bordeaux, and then now in Grenoble. And as we say in these cases, the lost points are never made up. The Mayenne club clearly knows what it will play this season, maintenance. “We are not reliable in this championship” said, with foresight, coach Olivier Frapolli.
So, of course, it’s not about making a revolution. The staff will have to deal with the number they have. It is up to the coach and his team to get the best out of the players at their disposal. But several elements clearly seem fair to evolve in Ligue 2.
To raise the bar, we will have to stop giving gifts. Laval now has the worst defense in Ligue 2. Also being a little less playful, too bad for the show. Stop being beautiful, but be effective. And then, find a scorer, because for now, it’s Julien Maggiotti who saves the furniture (six goals since the start of the season).
On Saturday October 15, Stade Lavallois will host Stade Malherbe de Caen (6th) at 7 p.m. at the Francis-Le Basser stadium.
