RC Lens suffered a painful 1-0 defeat against LOSC last Friday, marked by a goal from Olivier Giroud in the final of the match. This loss, which left Lensois supporters very disappointed, reignited the debate on how the club should react to its recent defeats. According to a survey carried out on the X But! RC Lens, the majority of fans believe that the Bollaert-Delelis stadium should not become a place of protest against the opposing team or against Marseille.
In this poll, 71 votes were counted. 60.6% of participants indicated that it is not wise to express anger in the stands, while 39.4% think it is time to show their displeasure. The majority therefore want the stadium to remain a space of support rather than protest, even after a new disappointment against neighbor Lille. Fans want to avoid further penalizing a team already weakened by its recent performances.
The season schedule does not leave Lensois much time to digest this defeat. The club will face Como on Wednesday November 4 in the Champions League, then Olympique de Marseille on Sunday November 8 in Ligue 1. These two meetings are crucial for Yannick Cahuzac and his team, who must quickly regain efficiency and commitment.
In short, the majority message from the survey is clear: anger exists, but it must not turn into disavowal in the stands. Supporters want Bollaert-Delelis to remain a place of support, even in the face of frustrations linked to the results. The next meetings against Como and Marseille will be decisive in determining whether the club can recover and meet the expectations of its fans.
