If the duo of leaders Bordeaux and La Roche perform, the second part of the table is completely crazy with ten clubs in five points!

Vendée FC La Roche-sur-Yon put pressure on the Girondins de Bordeaux on Friday evening with their victory against the FC Lorient reserve (2-1). Even though they were behind twice at US Granville, the Bordelais ended up winning at the very end of the match (3-2). The two clubs share first place but the Yonnais have one game less.

Behind, things are settling down since Vendée Les Herbiers lost heavily at Olympique Saumur (0-3) while Angoulême Charente FC was surprised at home against FC Montlouis (1-3). Aviron Bayonnais did not play at US Saint-Malo. In the race to maintain, the results of the day fold the cards (see the figure below).

The reaction: Fabrice Fontaine (FC Chauray)

“We hurt the opponent, but in front of goal, there is nothing. We lack efficiency in the last twenty meters. We need attackers, and the two who left would do good today. With Lemoine and Arné, the results of the last two matches would be different. » Source : The Western Mail
The Chaisonian coach regrets the departure of his two attackers this winter after the defeat at Saint-Colomban Locminé. The Deux-Sèvres club is relegated at the end of this sixteenth day.

The number: 9

After the results of this sixteenth day, nine clubs stand in five points, US Avranches Mont Saint-Michel (7th20 points) au FC Chauray (15th15 points). If US Granville is detached at the bottom of the ranking (8 points), it is therefore very close for the second relegation place!
