The Bordelais have not been able to raise the bar for several weeks.

  • The Girondins lost to the MHSC (2-0) this Saturday at Matmut Atlantique during the 10th day of Ligue 1.

  • They sink dangerously into the soft underbelly of the championship without showing any sign of revolt.

  • What solutions for this team in great difficulty for several weeks?

This time at least there was "the minimum union, the state of mind" according to Jean-Louis Gasset.

Moreover, this new defeat against Montpellier (2-0) is "not a disillusion" for the coach of the Girondins.

Her team lost against stronger than her this Saturday at Matmut Atlantique.

Not false.

But after having said that, what to do with this Bordeaux team in complete collapse and which has made its worst start to the season for nine years.

Three wins, three draws and four losses in ten games.

“Everyone is worried, admits Brazilian defender Pablo, it's difficult to find an explanation, it's a defeat that hurts!

Bordeaux is a great club, we cannot continue like that ”.

Otherwise it could well end in Ligue 2 at the end of the season.

So how can we bounce back quickly to avoid such an industrial disaster?

  • Wash your head during the break

Even before this new defeat without relief, the Girondins had started a small group therapy.

These meetings where we "tell each other things" as explained by Captain Laurent Koscielny.

The sports director, Alain Roche, even came to take a look.

It should continue during this international break according to the former international defender.

It is indeed urgent to tighten up this group.

Between the “small groups in the locker room,” says Jean-Louis Gasset, the many players at the end of their contract and those who already have their heads elsewhere, the Bordeaux locker room so healthy could end up exploding.

So it's time for everyone to wash their heads in the Girondins.

  • Play free against Rennes and Paris

While the situation is not yet dramatic for the Navy and White, it could be after the next two meetings in Brittany and then in the capital.

"We will see if we have men in the locker room during these matches," says Pablo.

“The calendar, I've known it for a long time.

We will try to achieve a blow on these two difficult trips.

The players need to regain their level.

We will play, ”says his coach.

Precisely, it might be time for the Girondins to play free.

Without any restraint, even if it means jumping into the collision.

Next Girondins matches: Rennes and Paris away from home.

But don't worry, our players will "tell each other and work hard".

Today, there is a real lead on this team, not helped by an extremely heavy context around the club for two years.

Facing Rennes and Paris, Gasset players will have absolutely nothing to lose.

So it might be time to finally let go for them and especially to find a little pleasure before thinking about the result.

  • Finally launch the young people

This is one of Jean-Louis Gasset's options.

But for now, that does not seem to be the priority of the man who wants to "break his group" in the coming months to "re-oxygenate" it.

However, the Zerkane, Bakwa or Traoré achieve interesting things when we call on them.

The first, holder against Montpellier, was far from the worst.

But hey, the Bordeaux coach "cannot offer them dessert" as he says.

The game.

They are only allowed to train for the moment.

Why ?

There are not too many explanations apart from already having too large a workforce with players who must be played before selling.

Still, this may be the time to have them play their youngsters to bring freshness to a group that lacks so much.

It is not at the 30th day when the Girondins will have two points ahead of the red zone that they will have to be launched into the deep end.

There, he would risk drowning and the Girondins with it.
