Still dominated, the Crocos lasted until the end this time, this Friday October 30th during the 17th day of Ligue 2 (0-0).
Right now, you have to settle for less. So, we will be satisfied with this point, with this balance achieved in suffering. Because Nîmes, always in the (vain) search for a happened outside in the championship yesterday he didn’t deserve better.

It wasn’t long before we put out a maintenance candidate, this Friday October 30th in Haute-Savoie. The last time Nîmes Olympique performed in an official competition in this sports park, it was also raining, and it was for the funeral of Evian-Thonon-Gaillard, in May 2016. The last professional match of the ETG, which had passed four to Ripart’s teammates (4-1), but which had still fallen in the national team. Nîmes is not there yet. Not yet. He’s not dead, but he’s a relegation who takes root in the red zone, and that doesn’t say anything useful.
Pagis se rate, Bosetti aussi
Without Fomba or Koné slightly injured but with Benrahou (first assignment since 30 August) and Pagis swapping in n°10, NO was still well inserted in this six-point game. Saïd, launched by a rebound from Djiga, had his first big chance, an attempt at a slightly closed corner rejected by Escales (2nd). His next shot was blocked (9th), as was Pagis’s (3rd).
And then Annecy set up her game and her catch in midfield. As against Guingamp, the Gardois began to suffer, without cracking this time, despite opportunities for Pajot (13th and 19th), Shamal (26th) or Demoncy (24th), whose free-kick was blocked by Benrahou’s arm in his area (24th). A bit like Benezet against the Bretons on Monday in added time. He had been sanctioned with a fine. This time, the referee, Mr. Souifi, didn’t hold back.

Fortunately for Nîmes, without too many solutions in the first half, Tchokounté isolated or offside, but he should have open brand at the beginning of the second, after exactly 98 seconds. But Pagis, alone and ideally served by Benrahou, missed in front of the cage, putting his head next to us (47th).
The beginning of something, a riot? Well no: on unplayable ground, the Crocodiles have retreated again. The Annecys were better at using the ball and quickly regained the upper hand. the arrival Bosetti collapsed in front of Labonne (contested, 65th) then missed the target (69th).
Suffering, again, against the Guingampais at the Antonins… But, this time, no cruel result, and a – small – point at the end (thanks Poulain, returning captain, in parentheses…). We will be happy. In any case, we have no choice.
