Nantes indeed had a bad performance so far this season, getting 25 points out of 26 matches is a poor result for them as they are already in the relegation zone.
They are just one points behind two teams ahead of them, which means they can make it if Kombouare can make a good effort as the new head coach, even though their next two matches are difficult ones as they will be facing Nice and Olympic Lyon, but if they can be able to get some points in the match then they will have the opportunity to survive in the League because the matches after these two matches are winnable.
In the previous season, Nantes also closed the season at the bottom of the rankings or at a safe point to stay in Ligue 1.
This season is also the same where Nantes appearance is not much different from the previous season. Because currently Nantes is still stuck in the relegation zone, which of course means they have to be able to improve their game to be better in order to get out of the relegation zone.
Management efforts to improve the quality of their game do not seem to be successful because they are so easily beaten by their opponents. But seeing that their points are quite close to the teams above their ranking, of course they still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone.
I think they have to make better changes in the remainder of this season because they have to look for points to improve their position in the standings table. In the upcoming match, Nantes will face Nice, which may be a very tough match for them because the instability of their performance will definitely affect them when they face Nice. However, they can try to find a draw because their next match will be at Nice headquarters.
