Coruxo FM 11 : March and April

Hi everyone, so quite a big post coming as I combine both the results in March and April in our quest for league glory! I’m afraid I couldnt get any highlights for my March games as I kept getting a error which is a shame but I couldnt help it so lets look through the past two months!

We began with an away game at Deportivo B, with the worst possible start as a mistake at the back allowed Richi to score after only two minutes. My side didnt panic and we were back level on 40 minutes when a Jacobo corner was headed in by Raul Sanchez. Second half was poor but Manu produced the only piece of quality finishing from close range to seal the win.

Next up was Rayo B at home and we had to thank the referee for giving us some very generous decisions. The first came on 43 minutes when Raul Snachez was apparently halted from a corner and we were awarded a penalty that Carlos scored. On 63 minutes Carlos this time was tripped and the referee gave a second penalty and Carlos stepped up again to score. In form Manu added a third on 75 minutes to coninue his fine form, whilst Rayo pulled one back late into injury time.

Atletico B next and the finest comeback we have ever had! We began poorly and were behind after 15 minutes when Baljic scored, 10 minutes later Fuseini made it two and the game looked gone. However a late fightback led by Zurbano, he flicked a headed onto Pacciardi who scored a rare goal from midfield on 82 minutes. Then on 85 minutes a fantastic cross from Carlos was met by Zurbano and we were level and I couldnt believe it!

However I couldnt believe what happened next when again Carlos went wide and provided another fantastic fizzing cross to Zurbano who rose highest to power his header past the keeper and give us the most unlikely of wins!

I even got all the credit for this result!

Our final game came against Leganes and I was expecting a high scoring game, which happened however we were on the wrong end of it! Things started badly and just got worse and worse as Zazo lashed home a 25 yard strike then added his second on 28 minutes. Nakor and Chupe both added goals and at half time we were 4-0 down!

We pulled something back on 74 minutes when Santi Dominguez scored but late on Sanchez fouled in the area and Zazo stepped up to inflict our biggest defeat of the season!

April

So April began and confidence took a major hit after the Leganes game, first match was away at Extremadura. I was looking for positive reaction but we were behind after 59 minutes when a long ball wasnt dealt with and they made us pay. We were level when Borja found Zurbano, but again we faltered as they re-took the lead. But 5 minutes level we were level when Borja pounced on a mix up in the defence, all square.

Next up was Lugo and again we played pretty badly, the game just didnt happen for us and we were beaten again at home when Gonzalez struck the winner. We hardly tested their keeper which was very dissapointing.

Next up was Universidad and again an we let ourselves down when we let them score after only three minutes another game where we created very little and we seem to be struggling a little at the moment, Antunez did equalise but I dont think we really deserved it. Sanchez was red carded and we just about held on to the win!

Last game of the month came against Guadalajara and we made a return to winning ways but after a couple of early scares including them hitting our post. We took the lead when Zurbano met a Germinale cross on 27 minutes. We had a chance to double our lead but Germinale missed from the penalty spot after Borja was fouled, however he made up far that miss with a fine goal three minutes later. We held on to grab a win this month!

So a couple of bad results and a couple of hapless performances has me worried, the confidence we have built up all season is starting to drop and fatigue and injuries are starting to take their toll on my tiny squad. Despite that we remain top of the league and have secured a playoff place, however we must improve otherwise we will be easily beaten at the moment.

So with only three games of the season remaining we have made sure that we will be challenging from promotion when we enter the playoffs! We have almost secured the league needing only a win to seal it. Defence has fallen to pieces over the past few games, but my attack has been very reliable with 69 goals. Hopefully we can improve in our final fixtures :

So we should be able to get the points we need from our remaining games to seal the league and enter the playoffs for promotion but I must admit confidence is down a little after some dissapointing games, sorry again for no highlights but nothing I can do!

So thats it! Next post should wrap up the season and bring those crucial playoff games in which we will see if I can win promotion or not! I must admit I am not looking forward to them as we by right should been given automatic for winning the league, also I will bring the results of the May games.

So until then bye bye and happy reading!! :)
