We start this episode in the West, as James Taylor focuses on Niigata’s home loss to Toyama (to 23:50), then move to the East, where Jon Steele fills us in on his trip to Sagamihara v Yokohama FC and the Tochigi Derby (to end). All the regular Most Bravo Player and games to watch chat is included as usual.
