Jon Steele and James Taylor reconvened after a couple of weeks apart for a review of J2 round 18. First, James and Jon discussed the dramatic/farcical end to Mito v Nagasaki and the exciting game that came before it (start to 14:50), an impressive win for Yamauchi over league leaders Shimizu (to 20:40), and a big game at the bottom between Tochigi and Kumamoto (to 29:15). That’s followed by Most Bravo Player (to 34:25), and a preview of a busy week for J2 teams in Levain Cup, league and Emperor’s Cup action (to end).
