With eighteen goals scored since the start of the season, Amiens SC still has one of the worst attacks in the championship. While waiting for potential recruits, Oswald Tanchot is counting on the returns of injury from Stephen Odey and Amadou Ciss, two reinforcements from the last transfer window who have yet to convince and win.
An attack still in the low average
If Amiens began a real rise in the standings for a month and a half, the Picard club owes its recovery above all to its defensive strength. With fourteen goals conceded, the relegated Ligue 1 simply has the second best defensive record in the championship. The deal is noticeably less brilliant on the offensive plan, with notablyt seven matches without scoring a goal, or a third of the games played since the start of the season. Nevertheless, Oswald Tanchot notes “ progress “And sees matches” with real opportunities“, Even if he concedes a lack of efficiency, for several weeks.
Oswald Tanchot (Amiens SC): “I know what I want, I passed it on”
« We have to work on it and the players must be connected to it and provide us with solutions. Individual quality sometimes makes the decision. Chadrac Akolo’s goal in Niort, normally, is not a goal, but it turned into a goal. It happened there, it must happen at other times. Jayson’s strike against Le Havre, if that makes a point, it’s not me who makes the choices, but the individual quality of the player that makes the difference, analyzes the coach of Amiens SC. Sometimes it goes beyond the tactics and the game plan. There is the inspiration, the technique, the look. If he gives us the victory on this, it is the inspiration of the player. “
Decisive returns for Amiens SC?
Deprived of Steven Mendoza, pending departure, Oswald Tanchot also had to compose without Stephen Odey and Amadou Ciss, both injured, in the first three league matches of the calendar year. And so do with two very inexperienced players, namely Darell Tokpa and Mustapha Sangaré. ” The feedback gives two more solutions and this is not negligible, appreciates the coach of the ASC. It may allow to consider blowing some like Darell. Now, that they come back is good, but they have to be at a good level and that they bring something right away. »
Amiens SC: Timid returns for Stephen Odey and Amadou Ciss
However, the two men have struggled to convince completely since their arrival in Picardy. Constantly blowing hot and cold since his arrival, Stephen odey clearly lacking in consistency. As for Amadou Ciss, he seemed to have gotten on the bandwagon at the start of the Tanchot era, before coming out of the starting lineup when Amiens SC began its unbeaten streak. ” You need competitive players who want to bring their touch because the team also took points without them. You have to be proud to say that good things done without them will be even better now that they are here, launches Tanchot. You have to mark your territory right away so that they raise their level and bring quality. “And allow the ASC to be able to perhaps aspire to better on this second part of the season.
