BARRY WRITES... Biblical! We didn't have the hail, but Sunday's rain was something crazy. You could barely see across the pitch, so there wasn't much choice. Social distancing so diligently observed went out the window as everyone dove for cover.
With the rain switching from drizzle to power shower, it necessitated the 2nd half drinks break be extended by an hour. Had there been no let up in sight, you wonder if the game would have been abandoned. As it is, there's already a stack of games squeezed into the next few months.
The rain gods were kind. After the storm clouds passed, we picked up where we left off: scoring goals from set-pieces. Earlier on Seok Ho had popped in a header from a corner, with this added to by Carlinhos's brilliantly taken hook shot, also coming from a corner.
It might right a lot in England, but rarely like it can in Japan

After the deluge abated Tatsuta scored from a corner, and Valdo nodded in a freekick. Props to Tatsuta - underling what he showed us against G. Osaka, he’s got a decent header on him. Questions could be asked of Oita’s keeper, but no taking away from our four goals. All well executed in their own way.
I'd had to head out on the hour (after the game was meant
to have ended), so missed the restart and climax. Oita scored two in two to
make orange arseholes slightly twitchy for the final few minutes, so I'm glad I swerved those sweats. Oita's late brace were worrying in how easily they cut through our back line, but let's not dwell on the negative. I'm sure the boss is aware, and they'll be working on it.
