the Stade Malherbe Caen has golden supporters. After a nightmarish season, they have returned in droves to ensure a fantastic atmosphere at Ornano stadium. It has been many years since songs have resonated so loudly in the red and blue lair. The party that accompanied the derby against Le Havre, with nearly 17,000 spectators and sometimes as many supporters, gave shivers. Warm, respectful, enthusiastic, the weed-breeding public has had a very, very high level start to the season. He also shows extraordinary patience – especially in view of the terrible shows observed on his screens last season – while the poor performances are linked.
“Wet the jersey”
Saturday, October 30, 2021, the choir from Luc Borrelli was however less powerful. “We want victory,” proclaimed the Caen people during the second half of the match against Grenoble, feeling said success slipping away. Little by little, the songs became less loud. At the end of the match, dissatisfaction was finally expressed. Quite nicely. “Wet the jersey”, we heard. After four defeats and a draw in the last five games played at home, this is surely the minimum. Like the few whistles heard.
I understand the dissatisfaction of the supporters who are there. We haven’t been able to thank them for some time. They are on the level, not us.
The Caen are aware of exhausting a lot of their credit with an audience that admirably forgave them last season, carried away by the momentum of a new staff. “It’s complicated because the supporters are there, they do a good job, they push us. We are already frustrated for them, ”assures Alexandre Mendy.
“How sad to be a supporter of the SMC! “
Frustrated, the fans themselves are more and more frustrated. The disappointment is clearly expressed on social networks. “We fall into line. What is worrying is this lack of revolt as soon as the team is led, observes Grégory on Facebook. A trademark of the club for years and that we cannot erase, season after season, despite different players. Fatalism seems to affect some. “We will still fight not to go down, predicted Stéphane. How sad to be a supporter of the SMC in recent years! “
I have the feeling that we could play five hours without scoring. It is distressing! Personally, I won’t go to the stadium anymore, it’s so sad to watch.
“The players do not have the level”
If Stéphane Moulin and his leaders are spared, they who arouse massive support, the players collect almost all criticism. Selected pieces. “As long as there is not a creator in the middle and a central defense, we will not succeed…” “The coach is good but we do not turn donkeys into racehorses. “It just goes to show that it is not the coach who makes a team, but the players. And unfortunately, apart from one or two items, ours don’t have the level. The matches in Caen are tasteless. We no longer feel the fervor of the past. “” Too many players do not have the level. The trials and the patience are over. ”
It is abused, frankly the public is at the rendezvous! Aren’t you ashamed to produce such small performances in front of your supporters !? Damn some pride !! It saddens me for these people who make the trip to see this kind of service …
Maintaining public support, an important issue
Caen supporters are plunging back into the dark hours of last season, they who have been going from disillusionment to disillusionment for three years. While Caen is only three points ahead of the barrage, maintaining public support appears to be a major issue in the weeks to come. Failing to have managed to surf the excellent start of the season …
