Girona has not met a strong team other than Madrid. So in 9 matches they tried to get points consistently in every match they were able to get. I think that's also a good result, but there's no need to exaggerate Girona's performance to compete for the La Liga trophy.
The season is still long and Girona's struggle will still be very long. I hope they can still be consistent in getting points, even though the competition will be tight, but by them showing the best they have in the team, then that is enough to prove the development of the quality of their game.
Care for my Opinion?
That would be to give credits to Girona. They might be fighting for the fight to get into top four clubs or six clubs to make it to the Champions League or Europa League Competition.
Getting all three points against fellow smaller clubs and managing to share points with big clubs is suchba good thing to watch Girona doing.
When they meet clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and the rest they haven't faced, they should fight to get a draw and that's a perfect way that'll get them into the top four. Avoiding loses to smaller clubs and gaining a point is a good idea.
Have you seen the home record of Girona? No you haven't! They have won all four and lose just one and that was to Real Madrid.
They should still be at home facing Almeria who is also struggling. They've got this, on the 22nd of October they should get three points and go top of the La Liga Table if Real Madrid shares points with Sevilla.
