Show Notes
For the second week running leaders Racing Santander lost, this time to relegation threatened Real Zaragoza. Almeria capitalised, brushing past Real Sociedad B but nobody else in the top six won. Burgos a major winner as they won their Derby against Real Valladolid and jumped in as a result. It went from bad to worse for Cultural Leonesa and Huesca whilst Pacheta’s Granada are making noises about the playoffs, they’ll have to get past Eibar and Ceuta first.
In part 1 we will discuss the leader’s defeat, hope for Real Zaragoza, Almeria moving into the box seat and Burgos’ Derbi win.
In Thursday’s part 2 we cover Eibar’s playoff charge, the teams up the top dropping points again, Andorra thrashing Cultural Leonesa and Granada thinking of the play offs.

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.
