He Deportivo A good part of their direct promotion options was left in Córdoba on Sunday with another disappointing draw, worsened by the victories of Alcorcón and Castilla. The irregular performance away from Riazor has been the trend throughout the entire second round and the reason why, with four days to go, the team depends on third parties to reach the lead.
He Depor need to make a win plenum in the four games to play and wait for the setbacks of the rest of the applicants to reach direct promotion and compensate for their poor numbers at home so far this year.
The blue and white team have added eight points in eight away games in the second round (one win, five draws and three losses). Eight teams have added more (Alcorcón, Castilla, Racing de Ferrol, Celta B, Unionistas, San Fernando, Algeciras, and Ceuta) and another two the same points (Mérida and Sanse).
The last two results as a visitor, the draws against Racing de Ferrol and Córdobacould fall within normality as they are rivals from the noble part of the table, but Deportivo has been leaving a trail of points in the second round against teams from the lower-middle zone of the table.
He was only able to win talavera, bottom, and lost to Unionistas and Cultural. In addition, it did not go beyond a draw in La Línea, San Sebastián de los Reyes or San Fernando, teams in trouble and where he exposed the enormous difference in attitude of the team between their home and away games.
The day gives Dépor a kick
Deportivo has had a flawless career in Riazor, is the best team at home in the category, but at no time has it been able to transfer those feelings to home. The test was again this Sunday in the tie in Córdoba. The blue and white team was able to corner the locals in the first leg of the game and took the lead sufficiently, but from then on they erred again on the conservative side.
The players themselves recognized that they took a step back without finding the reasons very well and they no longer had the capacity to react when the Córdoba managed to tie the score. The loss of Quiles due to the kick he suffered in the face ended up limiting the ambition of a Deportivo that his numbers away from Riazor have condemned to the play off.
