Thierry Gomez, president of Le Mans FC, will be the guest of 100% sport this Tuesday December 7, 2021 on France Bleu Maine at 6 p.m. With him, we will come back to the disappointing first half of the season for footballers in Le Mans. After 15 days of national, the blood and gold point to the 10th place in the standings, 11 points from the podium, far from their goals to climb in League 2 posted last summer. And after the loss of last friday at the red lantern of the ranking (Bastia Borgo), discontent is mounting among the supporters. Especially since the Corsicans had not won a single match since the start of the season.
This new setback (the fifth this season) is a stain estimate many supporters as explained Cyril Yvon from the La Tribune mancelle website: “The slingshot rises a little necessarily. When we see the poverty of the match in Bastia Borgo, we can only understand some comments“. A dissatisfaction which is expressed on social networks:” Respect the jersey you have on your back “,” what a shame “,” disgust “,” we will stay in N1 “, this is what we can read on the club’s facebook page. There are many criticisms. And the tribune has to question the hypothesis of a crisis.
Towards a crisis? The last victory dates back to October 25. Since ? 4 matches have gone by without the slightest victory in the league. The series is far from the expectations and objectives set at the start of the season. We can afford to talk about a crisis when the team has just relaunched the red lantern, which had still not won this season and which had a very poor record of victories over the calendar year.
With four games without a win, two consecutive losses, a elimination of the Coupe de France in Laval and two lost Maine derby, the trend is not good and the record of Le Mans FC is not very good. “If we look at the chart of accounts, we are not very far from the relegation zone“Cyril Yvon analysis.”Unfortunately, we can only make the following observation: there is too much missing at Le Mans FC to play the top of the table“.
Reinforcements in the transfer window?
The disappointment is up to the hopes raised by the arrival of the Cris on the bench this summer. “We were all very proud. But here, it is December and we are not in the race“said Cyril Yvon. The latter preached patience in vain”the team and the staff must be able to work over time“, like many supporters, he is awaiting the signing of one or more reinforcements during the winter transfer window.”If we take the example of our Laval neighbors, it is a team made up of experienced players, familiar with the national level and these players, we do not have them. This Le Mans FC team lacks a leader and it is perhaps at this level that we will have to rectify the situation in the next transfer window.“.
But before the transfer window, there is one game to play against Cholet at MMArena next Tuesday. Match that the Blood and Gold would be well advised to win.
