Nantes have a week to bounce back against two direct competitors for the maintenance. Unable to win since mid-February in the league, the Canaries have slowly unscrewed and find themselves 16th with 32 points.
Nantes fans have been exemplary during the matches, cheering tirelessly whatever the score, without depriving themselves of whistle at the end of mediocre performances. The Kanak coach does not seem to have managed to recreate the momentum of solidarity in the locker room that had made it possible to wrest a very compromised maintenance two years ago.
