Fuenlabrada

They owed a lot of money to players they couldn't pay them, and they, you know, they went bust and reformed, you know, right down the bottom again.

What I find interesting, though, looking at the map, um, is that you've got Fuenlabrada there.

You've got a real cluster of sort of small town, big towns, sorry, small cities, isn't it, which are on the edge of Madrid.

Leganes, Alcorcón, Móstoles, Fuenlabrada-

Yeah

... uh, Getafe, all together.

And it's like, I've always found that interesting, and the fact that they all have football teams to a l- greater or lesser, uh, extent in terms of success.

But, you know, I've been to Alcorcón, I've seen a match there.

Um, we do create chances, um, uh, we, sorry we, we create few chances but I feel that in all the games we've had, uh, we've been in with a, with a chance of getting something from all of the games.

Um, the disappointment of losing to Fuenlabrada Um, tempered by an excellent win, um, on... at the weekend

Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it's interesting, isn't it? I think the one thing you are gonna get with Mendi Nafti is he's gonna keep you in games on the whole, isn't he? Because defensive solidity is, is very much his strength.

Um, were there any signings in the summer that gave you reason to believe that, you know, your... that, that, that sort of slightly sharper edge in front of goal, uh, was gonna come? Or, or w- were they all slightly, uh, slightly punts? Uh, I think we had them down as that in our pre-season show, as, uh, promising, but, but a little bit untried in terms of what they brought in up front.

I feel that, uh, Jose de Leon gets the ball, he's pacy, he's direct, he likes to cut in and shoot.

But he's probably had 45 good minutes for us.

Um, he came on at half time in the defeat to Fuenlabrada, gave us some options, and therefore rightly got a start at the weekend, where he possibly didn't do himself justice over the 90 minutes.

Um, so in this division, I think the wingers, they're, um...

And they would be historically the rivals of Alcocon.

So, like, where's... my first year in Spain, Fuenlabrada and Alcocon were both in the second division.

So they both suffered some different fates.

But even my first year in Madrid in September 2019, I think that was the year Alcocon had the longest unbeaten streak away from home.

Well,

and also, you know, I was with our old friend, still friend who I'm meeting this weekend, Alex Ashmore this weekend.

And me and him did go in the away end at Fuenlabrada, which is possibly one of the most terrifying away ends ever been in.

It was just a scaffolding.
