Official J2 2014 Thread

Well, two teams are doing some really good stuff: Nagasaki and Yamaga. And Matsumoto doesn't still have Sabià.

 

Shonan is toying with JEF's defence...

 

I'm on the train on the way back from the game now.
The worst thing about that first half being that 5-0 flattered us, probably should have been 8-0. Don't think I've ever seen a home team losing 5-0 at half time before.

Fortunately it was so bad that something has to change from now, with that thing likely to be Oh and Puni not playing for us again.
Unfortunately the one bright point of the day Kanamori looked like he may have broken his foot.

 

Yeah it was probably the worst half ever played by a J2-team.

Why is it a bright point that Kanamori broke his foot? You don't rate him? From what I've seen he got some potential. Agree on Oh, you should send him back to Korea.

 

Yeah a strange round.

Ehime, whose attack is only better than Kamatamare's in J2, suddenly scored 4 vs poor Kataller.

Shonan winning 6-0 vs poor JEF, who also this season will most likely miss out on promotion.

Iwata somehow losing to a relatively really bad Giravanz-side.

Nagasaki scoring 5 on Avispa.

 

Sorry that was badly worded.

I was trying to say that the only bright point of the whole afternoon was Kanamori, but then he got taken off injured and basically made the whole day a disaster.

He has days when he looks the real thing, today was one of them.
He has the inconsistency of a young player, but looks like the one player who could make it (possibly Mishima too).

 

Wow, what a Shonan. 7-victories in a row isn't a record, right?

 

Haha yeah, that makes more sense then=)

Anyway, bold of Pusnik to play with Jogo, Punosevac, Ishizu, Sakata and Hirai from the start. Not the right opponent to do against though.

 

Sapporo 2000 won 14 in a row.
Though i don't know if 7 W in the first 7 games ever happened

 

The J League record is 8 straight won games after the season start. Best results in history are as follows:

▽開幕からの連勝記録
8連勝 1996年 J1 横浜F
8連勝 2001年 J1 1st 磐田
8連勝 2000年 J2 浦和
7連勝 1999年 J2 新潟
→7連勝 2014年 J2 湘南

For the most games without a win record would be 2010-11 Giravanz with 35 games I guess?

 

Matsumoto Yamaga's Funayama shows his affection for former club Tochigi SC.

 

Shonan won't have too much problems keeping their straight won games record this week...

 

Iwata still with some issues to fix.

 

Shonan with the 9th victory.
And Kamatamare got a second draw (still better than Tokushima). If I was a Chiba or Verdy fan, I'd be worried sick.

 

Avispa have had a few nightmarish matches, have already played Jubilo and Kyoto, but somehow are managing to be in 5th place in the table.

Hopefully things are going to click into place soon for us. We have the highest number of attempted crosses into the box, but the lowest accuracy for crosses.
If that can get sorted then we might surprise everyone and do well this season.

 

This really is going too far in a promotion. No matter how much is paid by a sponsor you shouldn't have players walking around a freaking tank to get on the field.

 

Fujigawa on the bench LOL
Anyway, no clear adversary for Shonan.

 

Extremely few goals today, except for Kataller, who scored more goals in today's game than what they have done the entire season so far.

 

SApporo and Mito's games also ended 0-0. This must be a new record-low in terms of goals for 1 round??
