JTET - J2 Round 25 Review

After a relaxing summer break, JTET is back with a forensic look at the big stories from last weekend's Round 25 games in J2.

This week, Jon Steele was joined by special guest co-host Jonny Nicol, and the boys began with a quick chat about the exciting 'J-Talk Live' announcement made earlier on Big Pod (Start to 05:00).

The Two Jonnies then discuss selected games from J2 Round 25, starting with Shimizu's defeat at Sendai (05:00 to 16:20) and followed by Iwaki's home victory over ten-man Akita (16:20 to 29:00).

Part 1 is rounded off with a discussion of this week's 'Most Bravo Player' (29:00 to 33:20), and a look ahead to the upcoming Round 26 games this weekend (33:20 to 37:50).

In Part 2, Jon quizzes Jonny on his thoughts about the J2 season so far, including a mention of his superb 'Scouting Report' on Yamaguchi's Kota Kawano (38:00 to Finish).
