Show Notes
Racing Santander are back where they belong in Primera division, their victory, coupled with Almeria dropping points against Las Palmas confirms their automatic promotion. Depor also have one foot in Primera, needing just 3 points from the last 2 games to secure their place.
The race for the playoffs is hotting up with dropped points for Castellon and Eibar, Burgos the big beneficiaries, whilst Malaga and Las Palmas both won to strengthen their play-off position.
Down the bottom Cultural won to delay the inevitable relegation another week and Real Zaragoza lost again to drop to bottom of the table and are as good as down. It was late heartbreak again for Mirandes and the survival target edged a little higher as Cadiz picked up a point.
We will cover the bottom end of the table in the part 2 of the show and the promotion chase in part 1.

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.
