I'm not worried this year, because we play Great Britain, probably one of the weekest promoted team outside of South Korea last year.
If the team take care seriously of this business, no problem to avoid relegation.
You just might have jinxed them
Last game today before the WC, 6-2 victory against Italy. Italy looked very weak to be honest, France completely dominated the game.(...)The D is a bit suspect at times, with some bad turnovers, hope they can avoid that against better teams, just clear the puck..
Like I saw against Italy, our D was really the weakest D we had in a long long time. I did not really recall seeing so many turnovers, bad passes, etc in the Henderson's years.
Hopefully something can be done, and some effort being put into young players development in the years to come. Not many upcoming D, even at the magnus level. The only I can think of are Prissaint, Onno, Pascal, Melin.. and they are not even playing in their respective team's top 6.
The U20 got relegated , the U18 almost too.. It's not looking very bright.
Players review:
+ : Rech, Claireaux, and at times Bozon Jr and Thiry
- : Janil, Manavian, ODM etc Perret and Leclerc invisible
