Bastia Player of the Month

RM François Kamano, 73 Ovr, 19 years old, Guinea
Bastia was only able to muster one victory in September, a shocker over Lyon at the Stade de Gerland by a score of 3-0. In that match, the Guinean teenage midfielder François Kamano had a big show with 2 goals and a Man of the Match performance. Manager Urs Meier is very hopeful of Kamano's potential for Bastia going forward as the Corsican club still looks to find the elusive, consistent form.

Manager's Thoughts
It's been a roller coaster in the first two months of the season as we continue to have no pattern of consistency to our performances. In August, we had a 0-0 draw with league leaders Marseille. Now in September, we go on the road and trounce 3rd place Lyon 3-0. However, that was our only win in 3 matches for the month as we managed to drop games to mediocre sides Nice and Toulouse. I know we have the potential to have a good season, and I'm not really afraid of being relegated, but our club needs to learn how to win. Right now, that's something we're still trying to figure out.
Peybernes Injury
We got bad news that starting center back Mathieu Peybernes injured his LCL in training and is out 3 months. This is a big blow as Peybernes is our most promising defender and already a rock on the back line at just 24-years-old. With the transfer window just closing, we can't go out and buy a replacement, so we will have to rely on 37-year-old François Modesto to give us some veteran leadership until Peybernes can return to action.
October 2015 - Schedule
10/3 - at Angers
10/18 - vs PSG
10/25 - at Montpellier
10/28 - vs Tours*
10/31 - vs Caen
*Coupe de la Ligue - Round 2
This month may determine which direction our season goes. I can't predict this team, but I expect to get a result at Angers who were just promoted from Ligue 2. Then we welcome league giants PSG to Corsica in a massive game that our fans will be looking forward to. Obviously, PSG has us totally outmatched, so just not getting embarrassed may be good enough for us. Montpellier and Caen are both close to us in the table, so these matches are tossups. In the Coupe de la Ligue we face Ligue 2 side Tours. I will use that match to rest our regular starters, but a win and some extra funds would sure be nice.
