Show Notes
This week saw a few clubs scraping through by the skin of their teeth. Top two chasers Racing and more so Depor won, but only just, Las Palmas stormed back into top two contention and there were points dropped in the top six race as Castellon lost, Burgos could only draw and Malaga beat Eibar in Ipurua.
Down the bottom there was a relegation six pointer which ended in disappointment for both teams, and Granada dealt another blow to Real Zaragoza's survival hopes.
In part one we cover the top end of the table, whilst in Thursday's part two we discuss the play-off chase and the relegation battle.

This week we had manager madness as we saw not one, not 2, but 3 sackings in 7 days. Ruben de la Barrera last Monday night with Las Palmas, Ruben Albes this Sunday night with Leganes and Monday morning brought number 3, Albert Celades of Cadiz. Almeria made it seven wins in a row, Sporting Gijon jumped into the play offs with victory and Eldense and Granada are coming nicely to the boil with three wins in a row.

This week Segunda lost their only undefeated side, with Castellon falling in Andorra meaning Eibar are top for another week despite defeat in Oviedo. Almeria made it 6 wins in a row against Leganes who must now be reviewing Ruben Albes’ future, Las Palmas were comfortably beaten against Mallorca to leave Ruben de la Barrera teetering on the brink, Eldense’s late winner sparked rage in Cordoba’s Ivan Ania, Sabadell won again this time with ten men, we had an all B team affair, and Real Valladolid demolished Albacete in Etxeberria’s first game in charge.

Albacete have wielded the axe and Alberto González becomes our third sacking of the season, we have new leaders as Eibar go top, Cádiz hit Leganés for 4 to get their first win of the season, both B teams are involved in 3-2 thrillers including a Granada remontada from 2-0 down, we have positive runs for Eibar who make it 7 wins in a row and Almeria who make it 5, as well as a couple of coaches who are popping their heads above the parapet to be shot at with their poor runs. El Comandante is back in Segunda and we have the Copa del Rey draw to talk about.
