Villarreal managed consecutive clean sheets after a stalemate against Guadalajara.
The draw means they have slipped to ninth place and remain three points off sixth placed Córdoba.
I couldn't manage to get any highlights, and it probably wouldn't have been worth it anyway with it being 0-0.
Guadalajara 0-0 Villarreal

Marca has you in 8th - I imagine it's due to direct head-to-head with Sabadell, who you're level on points with. Also, don't forget that 7th is currently the cutoff point for the promotion playoff, as Barça B wouldn't be able to take part.
All in all, things aren't that bad, and this weekend's wasn't such a bad result after all. A second clean sheet in a row should have done the team's morale good, and none of the other top teams won this week (Almeria lost too last night).
In the time I've been following Segunda, virtually every single team goes through a slump at some point in the season (I think it was Salamanca not that long ago who threw away and 11-point lead at the top). With any luck the worst might be behind you now, while others look as if they're starting to suffer. Girona, Alcorcon, Almeria, Las Palmas, even Elche seem to be struggling a bit lately to rack up the points.
February could prove a vital month. Wins against Ponferradina and Hercules would put you back in the race, and after that you're at home to Las Palmas, a direct promotion rival. Win those three and you could be back in the top 4.

We need to start getting wins away from home, though. But at least a clean sheet away is something to build on.
