“They were superior to us in every way. We have had to do better for a few weeks, raise the level individually. We are not all in good shape at the same time, there are too many athletic differences. We also had some serious injuries, we never had the full squad. It is important when there is a series of matches to be able to rotate when there are tired players. We’re having a bit of trouble finding binding in the game at the moment, it’s a bit winded what we’re offering. »
“We have only scored one but in the last four games and we have cashed in, so it has to be complicated. We make too many individual mistakes which cost us dearly. The matches are so difficult, the teams are close to each other. I haven’t seen a team that’s way above it. Regularity is what you have to find. At the moment, we don’t have it. There are too many level differences, even more so between home and away games. »
“We are annoyed. We don’t like it when it happens like that, because we don’t do it on purpose! Sometimes we fall against an opponent stronger than us, there we did not manage to pose enough problems for Laval. What is certain, what we will not let go. The staff is used to this kind of situation too. This is our complicated moment. There are three league games left(before the international truce, editor’s note.), our goal is to win as many as possible. It needs to be more consistent in content, there isn’t enough regularity in what we offer. At the start of the season, we had it. We will have to find that to move forward. Often in these periods, you have to go back to simple things and the results come later. »
