The “Mutzen” remain at the foot of the table after another desperate apparition. The Lausanne match made it clear why the club is in crisis. There is no lack of effort, but you pay stupid penalties, you make too many mistakes defensively and in front of the goal there is total uncertainty.

The frustration among the players is enormous. “We talk a lot, we say every day that we have to change a lot, that we have to act differently. We look at things in training, but then we do something completely different in the game, “said Vincent Praplan, leaning after the debacle in Lausanne. The forward is defenseless: “We look for solutions, but we cannot find them.”

Absence is not a reason for crisis

In Lausanne, SC Bern reappeared with a badly decimated team. Coach Mario Kogler had to do without less than 9 players. For Praplan, however, neither the absences nor the difficult conditions caused by the corona pandemic are a reason for the poor performance: “That is no excuse. All teams have missing players. The situation is the same for everyone. “

Since coach Don Nachbaur was fired in early December, the SCB has played 6 games with interim manager Kogler. After a win in the first game, he subsequently suffered 5 losses in a row. After the latest disappointment, the 33-year-old Austrian finds clear words: “We have to grab some players by the neck and demand certain things from them.”

The next opportunity to take a first step out of the crisis is offered to the Bernese on Tuesday in the home game against Ambri-Piotta.
