March - A Change in Fortunes!
Something is in the air tonight went the song and for Valladolid they could certainly point to that as 2 wins from 4 games, both via comebacks has given the team a much needed lift as they head into the finishing stretch of a tough and uncomfortable season.
It was standard fair to start things off as a 1-0 defeat to promotion hopefuls Gimnastic appeared to have set the tone for another tale of woe. However Valladolid would not only bounce back from that, they would also comeback from a goal down at Huesca, to snatch a dramatic 2-1 and jump above their opponents in the league table, thanks to this (below) finish from the much maligned Dolly Menga.
CD Lugo bought the Albivioletas back down to earth with a 1-0 win at the Jose Zorrila, albeit on the back of a lucky deflection. But it would be the game with Alcorcon that ignited the team and fans, as finally Valladolid would come out on top in a 7 goal thriller.
Leading 1-0 at the break thanks to Awaziem, Valladolid looked in control of the game before a hectic final 30 minutes. Alcorcon true to form would rally back, going 2-1 and then 3-2 ahead as the game swung end to end.
However it would be the finale that will live long in the Valladolid memories as Drazic, the teams talisman (yet often missing), would score a pair, the 2nd being a powerful header to seal a stunning win in the craziest of circumstances.
Valladolid are finally off the foot of the table and can certainly look forward to the final months fixtures. Speaking of which, April will serve up trips to Tenerife and Reus, 2 sides still on the cusp of the playoff race. Before home games with mid-table Oviedo and Mirandes.

(A) 0-1 Gimnastic
(A) 2-1 Huesca (Drazic), (Menga)
(H) 0-1 Lugo
