Important game for us, only 3 points matters. No excuses for any loses of points, if we want to achieve something more than 10-14 place at the end of the season we need to beat teams like Sporting. Their defensive line is quite weak so that our strikers should score something. We have big chance to reach European spot after this game so I believe it's definitely worth giving 100% in this one.

Forza Depor!

Agree. Although Gijon has been on a decent run lately, they are one of the weakest teams in the league. At home nothing but a win is unacceptable.
A big win would be nice for the moral, but even a 1-0 like against Numancia would do it.

0 points cuz we cant beat teams like gijon
and like DK said that pummelling stage at the beggining of the season seems to be done for them...they are settling in.

we better win but im not really expecting it

I have the feeling that Lotina no more likes to risk. Before the previous season, he kept saying that team's first priority is to play quality and offensive football. Even when we were at the relegation zone he kept saying "we will die to keep our ideas in the field". At the end, that somehow "risky" situation end up in a disastrous first half, and excellent second half in the season.
This season, he seems more conservative, more opportunist, more like Caparros, while the final result remains the same (we're at the middle of the table).

The game against Sporting, which has the weakest defensive line in la liga might give more hints on this. I think the idea on the game will be similar to that against Numancia.

I'm ok with that

deporiginal · 21-10-2008, 11:59

Saying Depor usually doesn't beat those team is a horribly lame excuse to me.

Anyway, we beat Numancia, didn't we?

I think the team has proved that it is not the case. Especially at home. This year, we beat Numancia. Last year it was Levante, Murcia, Valladolid, Athletic that were those 'small teams' and we defeated them. Although there's a difference between Europe and the league, we took care of Sakhnin and Brann as well.

Either way, it's as deporiginal says, no excuse to not win the game. Of course I'd exchange a win here for one in Moscow, though.

It's expected that at least 2,000 fans from Gijon will come to Riazor. Damn, I hope we won't be in inferiorirty in our own stadium

agree with you , If I were in la Coruña I would go every match of Deportivo

I dont understand why deportivo fans don't support their OWN teams

DepHun · 21-10-2008, 18:43

Well now you're just trying to piss me off

DepHun · 21-10-2008, 19:08

you should be happy and proud of me, that I remembered the name of the international cup, in which Depor wastes its efforts nowadays

istike · 22-10-2008, 11:46

A must win. Which team we want to beat if not like Gijon? Only 3 points are acceptable!

They sold those 2,000 tickets in 15 minutes! They must be excited to see their team get scraped by us
