Beaten at home by Rodez (0-2), AS Saint-Étienne continues to sink. What trigger the taunts of his own supporters that


But how far will AS Saint-Étienne fall?

Beaten at home by Rodez this Saturday (0-2) during the 15th day of Ligue 2, the men of Laurent Batlles continue to tumble and point to 19th place in the standings.

They could even pass the international break with a dunce cap on their heads since Niort (20th and last) has a game behind and could therefore pass them in front.

Faced with the poor performance delivered by their team against the Aveyron club, another poorly ranked club, the supporters preferred to use irony.

While Sainté had just conceded the second goal on the hour mark, only five minutes after the opening of the scoring, several fans present in the stands decided to put on clown masks, directly addressed to the leaders they accuse disastrous management.

The songs “Direction resign!”

» then resonated in the enclosure of Geoffroy-Guichard who has not attended a victory for the Greens since August 30th.

The expulsion of Jimmy Giraudon in the 68th for a mood movement was the last straw for the supporters who massively deserted the stands even before the final whistle, given under an impressive bronca triggered by the few remaining fans .

Relegated to Ligue 2 last season after a lost play-off against AJ Auxerre and marred by violence, Saint-Étienne is in a very perilous situation, especially since, as in Ligue 1, four runs in National are scheduled at the end of the season.

The Greens are currently four points behind … Rodez, first non-relegation and three on Nîmes and Dijon, 17th and 18th but who have one game less.

In other words, all the lights are red and few signals encourage optimism in the Forez.

The next match will take place on December 26 on the lawn of Annecy, another direct opponent in the fight for maintenance.

Because yes, Saint-Étienne is not aiming for anything else this season.
