La Gantoise continues to alternate ups and downs this season. The Buffalos had a turbulent week.
By losing to Larne, La Gantoise caused a lot of ink to flow. In the event of a victory, the Buffalos would have finished in the top 8 in the Conference League. But they were unable to make the difference in the ninth place in the Northern Irish championship.
Very frustrated, Wouter Vrancken did not hold back by publicly charging his own players. Understandable after such a performance according to Johan Boskamp. Except the consultant explains that perhaps Vrancken should have looked in the mirror first.
“It really wasn't the right thing to do,” he begins in Het Belang van Limburg. “I can understand Wouter's frustration, but we can also ask ourselves questions about his choices. Why do without important players (Max Dean, Jordan Torunarigha and Mathias Delorge were on the bench) when we are 90 minutes away to move on to the next round?” he asks himself.

“If you can't win against a team of this level, even if the match is on a cauliflower field, then there is something wrong with the mentality of your team. You don't get what you deserve” concludes Boskamp, intractable.
Not really a good omen before moving to Standard. Especially since in the event of a defeat at Sclessin, the Rouches would return to the top of the standings. But be careful all the same: in the first leg, Ghent remained in four games in a row without a victory in the championship, before giving their opponent a 5-0 at the weekend.
