Coruxo FM 11 — 2014 : The Halfway Point

Hi everyone!

So am back again with the half season update in my Coruxo story, after having some house problems due to a leaking pipe rotting some of the floorboards causing a hole to appear in the ceiling of my living room I have had the very exciting task of phoning and filling out insurance forms to fix the problem.

Thankfully Barcelona managed to progress in the champions league so at least that cheered me up after a pretty annoying week!!

So on to my story! Last time I posted the players who had the task of keeping us in la liga as my Coruxo side were heavily tipped for relegation. This post will take us up to December and the winter break so lets have a look at how my little side got on!!

————————————

September Results

Yes, you are reading correctly my tiny Coruxo side stunned the mighty Real Madrid as we won six four in an amazing game! It may have looked like a fluke but my side were four zero up after 37 minutes! I will post the report and highlights at the end of the post so you can see the greatest victory in Coruxo history!

We tried to out attack Valencia but we lost four two, but we bounced back with a good win over Mallorca with Agirrexte and Henrique scoring and Graca came off the bench to seal a very good win. A really poor result followed at Betis as we lost four one and then another bad result as we failed to take any chances and could only draw with Las Palmas.

October Results

October brought only two points as we held Espanyol to a draw away from home, the impressive Paulo Henrique with our equaliser. That followed a similar result as we got another point against Almeria, Karacan with a late reply to save what could be a vital point.

Away at Atletico was always a big ask to get anything and a Sergio Aguero hat-trick made sure we would leave empty handed, Agirrexte added a late consolation for my side.

November Results

November began with a hard luck story as we managed to lose the game at Sporting despite playing the best football we have played since beating Real Madrid first game of the season, Carvalho and Palacios gave us a deserved 2-1 lead only to lose two poor goals and all the points.

We bounced back to win a  hard fought game at Zaragoza after being one down we equalised through Agirrexte and a 93 minute header from N’Diaye was our reward and a vital three points. We then had back to back wins for the first time this season as a Zerbini goal was enough to seal a win over Getafe.

Then two defeats as Osasuna and Villarreal both outplayed us and a dissapointing end of the month.

December Results

That was five straight defeats as we had a really bad December, Sevilla came back after a goal down to win by two goals to one and then in a big game at the bottom we blew our chance after a heavy away defeat at Tenerife. We couldnt recapture our early magic form as Barcelona beat us very easily as we slide down the table.

The League Table

So after 16 games we are only one point from the drop zone, a major surprise to see Villarreal below us. We are on a bad run of five defeats but with the window opening in January I will do my best to bring in some extra players to try and lift the team. We made a decent start but bad results followed another and we are in a releagtion battle.

I am determined not to get relegated! Like my last game with Real Union but we are following in the same pattern as that so will try everything to pull away from the bottom!

That Game Against Real Madrid!

So thats it! I hope you enjoyed my victory over Real Madrid, I know I did! But it was a rare highlight in an otherwise dissapointing season so far. We need some new faces so will do my best to solve that but I dont want to spend too much incase we are relegated and have to pay out more in wages.

Its a difficult balance but hopefully we can re-discover our early season promise and start to climb away from the bottom of the league. Again thanks for reading but January fixtures are not too kind to us as we travel away three times in four games including an away trip to the Bernabeu!
