PODWATCH: J-Talk looks at the J2 League

With the J1 League off for the recent international break, J-Talk Podcast host Ben Maxwell turned the show over to Jon Steele and Stuart Smith for the first J2 Special of the season.

With six weeks having elapsed in the J.League’s second division, the pair examine the surprises and disappointments thus far, take a closer look at last year’s relegated J1 sides in Ventforet Kofu, Albirex Niigata, Omiya Ardija, and consider how long perennial strugglers Mito Hollyhock and Renofa Yamaguchi can remain the playoff zone.
