In an attempt to recover from a hectic Golden Week on and off the pitch, Jon Steele and James Taylor met for a review of J2 matchday 14 and a chat about the state of the league so far.

 

In part 1, Jon reviews 5 games (start to 13:10), and in part 2 James takes care of the other 6 games (13:10 to 20:15).

 

In part 3 they worked their way down the J2 table, with some in-depth discussion of Gunma (to 30:10), Kofu (to 35:20), Iwata (to 39:10), Mito (to 44:10), Yamaguchi (to 52:30), and Omiya (to 1:04:40), plus brief comments on other teams along the way. They also previewed the derby-filled round 15 fixtures (to 1:12:10).

 

In J-Talk: Short Corner, Mike Innes rounds up the qualifiers for the Emperor’s Cup involving J3 teams (to 1:20:25) and looks ahead to round 10 of the league campaign (1:20:25 to end).
