RC Lens fell home against the Auxerre team, who scored three goals in eleven minutes before half time. The match ended with one less Lens player, following the expulsion of Florian Sotoca. The Sang-and-Gold were unrecognizable, displaying blissful flaws in defense against the duo Sinayoko-Perrin, who wrote an offensive festival. This defeat was the eighth in Bollaert this season, a worrying figure for a club that had made its stadium a fortress in recent years. The frustration was palpable both on the ground and in the stands, where anger replaced the stupor.

Will Still’s first season at the head of RC Lens is turning to disillusionment. Eliminated from the conference league dams by the Panathinaikos, released in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France against the PSG, Lens also lost his two derbys against Lille and won only two victories against top 10 teams. Despite an honorable 9th place in a tight championship, the overall dynamics are disturbing despite some bursts of bursts.

Will Still, lucid, recognized in press conference the complexity of his mission, pointing to an offensive lack of effectiveness and the difficulties associated with a sham force during the winter mercato. He is already calling for an “important project” this summer to get back on better bases and regain a strong identity. While he recently announced that he would normally still be Lensois next season, can Will Still, who dreams of England, slam the Blood and Gold door and make us a Frank Haise? Not impossible even if on the side of Lens the opposite is advanced.
