Segunda 2011 - 2012

Yesterday saw the last of the promotion play-offs from segunda B to segunda (Alcoyano and Guadalajara promoted) so now we know the final make up of next season's segunda division :

Alcorcón
Alcoyano
Almería
Barcelona B
Cartagena
Celta
Córdoba
Deportivo La Coruña
Elche
Girona
Guadalajara
Gimnástic Tarragona
Hércules
Huesca
Las Palmas
Numancia Soria
Real Murcia
Real Valladolid
Recreativo de Huelva
Sabadell
Villareal B
Xerez

Favorites for promotion have to be Deportivo, along with the 2 other relegated sides, Hércules and Almería. You have to expect Real Valladolid and Celta to be strong again. Real Murcia, despite being recently promoted, will have the weight of expectation on us (we are the "kings" of the division with 8 second division championships, none of the others come close), but I would be satisfied with a mid table tranquilo season, after the ups and downs of the last 2, and to set the basis of a side that can push for promotion in 12/13.

Relegation? Let's hope the 2 reserve sides (Barcelona B and Villareal B) go down and therefore stop adulterating the competition. Would be nice to see Efese/Balsicas/Cartagonova/Cartagena orwhatevertheycallthemselvesnow struggle too.
