Raul looking over his shoulder as Castilla risk dropping into the relegation zone Real Madrid Not going to plan

Raul Gonzalez is hoping that his time on the Castilla bench will serve as a stepping stone to the first team at Real Madrid, but things aren't going too well for the former No.7.

Los Blancos' subsidiary have chained three consecutive losses together, they're four games without a win and are just two points above the relegation zone after 12 games.

The month ahead is tough, too. They visit leaders Atletico Balearas on Sunday, who have 31 points from 36 and have won each of their home games so far.

Then come Oviedo B, who are a point above Castilla before they take on Atletico Madrid B in the derby.

Raul has a tough task on his hands this month and Castilla could well fall into the relegation places, which isn't something the club with to imagine.
