The glitches are still piling up for coach Mathieu Blondet. Questeline Célestin (sprained ankle) had to forfeit, forcing her to align Kelly Chassé, however injured.
It is therefore again cut off from three of its six best elements that the Brivist group started the meeting on Saturday against Nantes.
And it started very badly for this reorganized group in which members of the reserve came to lend a hand. “We put them in confidence from the start by leaving them easy open shots when we had identified that they were very skilful from a distance. We were delusional for 24 minutes. Despite a lot of mistakes, we manage to come back to 9 points and behind, it’s the stampede, we are no longer in “, admits the Corrézien coach while acknowledging that the reservists gave the maximum during the meeting.
Defenseless, no salvation

The “black and white” coach sees the limits of a workforce made up of only eight competitive players at the start of the season. “I now clearly know who can and who cannot contribute at this level. I have seen deplorable defensive attitudes that make us miss the game. Scoring 57 points at this level can win matches, but taking 85 is crippling. Of course, we lack our offensive talent (Maimouna Ba), but defense is a battle, discipline and involvement and we clearly lacked ”.
The fifteen days of rest will not be too much to regain freshness and try to get out of “Ba dependence”. The next two meetings in Toulouse and against Mont-de-Marsan will be important for the rest of the season and will have to end with two victories. Otherwise, the risk of seeing CA Brive pour into “the other championship” will be great.
“At the top of the table, we only have Anglet to play between now and Christmas. If we are at most three defeats in the middle of the championship, we will always be in the game ”.
