Miyayoshi is the next Hisato Sato. Now if he can cut his offside rate, that'd be great. Also, Atsutaka Nakamura is better than any of the deep lying midfielders we have in the U23 team.

you know you suck when Junki Koike scores against you. JEF grind a good victory vs Mito, not an easy game.
Kobayashi needs to stop changing the line-up every week. We were doing fine at the beginning and then we lost to Tochigi. After that Kobayashi panicked made some changes and we lost again. And now every week he's changing the line-up in the hopes that we'll somehow eek out a win.
Wataru Endo is BIG THING And Shonan Bellmare is a marvellous young team. Also keep an eye on Giravanz Daiki Watari,class '93,regularly on the scoresheet
Hahaha, I feel extremely sorry for Tokushima... It feels like getting rid of a cold by passing it to a friend xD Couldn't agree more, I really enjoy watching them, I hope they will go far this season.
Hara is money for Kyoto. A late transfer, kinda unexpected, always starting on the bench but racking the important goals.
The battle between Verdy forwards and Mizutani ended well for Sanga. Could Kobayashi be a next generation Ono? Potential and vision in my opinion both says yes.
Kyoto is going very well. The team that lose so much from last season is Roasso.. very low-quality matches.
Nice to see Hara having a good time of it. Was always on the fringes in J1 but with flashes of class. A decent season in J2 could be the springboard he needs.
Since I didn't see a mention, it might have flown under the radar, but from next season Thespa Kusatsu will change from ザスパ草津 to the much less appealing ザスパクサツ群馬. Fans of Kusatsu aren't happy and fans of rival teams find it amusing.
There's a lot of controversy over the fact that they call themselves Kusatsu but play in Maebashi... there was a post elsewhere on this forum (maybe earlier in the thread?) about it.
It's too early to say,but Shonan right now is building something that can take them very high. Without the fanfare that surrounded Sanga,they have consolidated a core of talented young players that already have ammassed playing time and experience: Wataru Endo,Kikuchi,Han Kook Young,Takayama are all very young but already played one or two full seasons. They have players like Kenji Baba or Shimamura that are good value at J2 level,experienced players like Furuhashi and Sakamoto and a pair of rookies that are doing surprising things. From the match that i've seen they play with great intensity,in a physical way. They are offensive but in a intelligent way,always balanced.Big credit to their manager. And the most important thing:until now they have played with equal quality and concentration against top opponents and low-half table rivals,without dropping points:unlike Sanga or Kofu that struggled against minnows,or Verdy that have lost all the big clashes the had so far. Shonan haven't an infinite roster,so we'll see how they fare in the long run.
