The J-Talk Podcast

Stuart Smith is (barely) in control as there is just time for a quick overview of J2 and the weekend's events - we have ANOTHER set of fixtures coming up on Wednesday - so about enough time to talk: 

Giravanz Kitakyushu

Tokushima's supersubs

Tochigi's powerplay

Rookies running wild

A big thanks to all who listen & provide feedback, we really appreciate it. 

Jon Steele does the heavy J3 lifting today - made even heavier by appearance of a stray J2 games as well - as he takes you through what happened last week, and a brief look ahead to the weekend action. 

Enjoy!

Finally, some time to breathe - unless you happen to support Omiya or Fukuoka - and so it is time for Stuart Smith & Jon Steele to discuss some of the finer points of J2:

Why are Mito & Tochigi so similar yet so different?

Kyoto? Kofu? Iwata? Who is primed for a promotion push?

Omiya Ardija - ANY hope for them this year? 

Why don't more team use long throws?

Alan Gibson guests for a full review of J1 Matchday 16.

Part 1 begins with a mixed bag for the three Kansai clubs: Cerezo Osaka triumphing over the defending champions; Kobe snatching a point at the death; and Gamba Osaka fluffing their lines at home against (previously) bottom club Shonan (to 32:33).

Part 2 opens with Kawasaki's demolition job on Hiroshima, then moves on to surprising losses for Nagoya and Kashiwa (with kudos to Yokohama FC and Tosu for their impressive wins) and also includes the seven goal humdinger at the Sapporo Dome.

J2 Briefing -  all you need to know in a short space of time. Stuart Smith takes a whistle-stop tour of J2, highlighting key results & scorers, ahead a more in depth look when Jon Steele joins him later this week. 

Stay tuned for Giravanz extending their lead at the top and Gunma capitalising in the capital. 

Enjoy!!
