After watching Pohang crush Ulsan in the post-split East Coast
Derby for the second straight year, host Ryan
Walters turns to Dan
Croydon to make sense of it. The two have a rather lively
back and forth about Kim Do-hoon's abilities as a manager
while Matthew
Binns tries to mitigate and keep the Jeonbuk-fan smirks to
a minimum. The three also discuss the Dave Bulthuis and Bjørn
Johnsen red cards that will see both miss the last two matches of
the season.
The relegation battle takes center stage in the second segment
where FC Seoul managed to finally get mathematical safety from the
drop. Whether or not this is something they can build on for ACL is
another story according to Matthew. They also discuss Incheon's
Great Escape chances, Seongnam's tough schedule, and Busan's
outlook heading into the final weeks.
Michael Redmond joins for the third segment to talk about
the wild world that is K League 2. Jeju and Suwon remain locked in
a heated battle for automatic promotion while Ryan's Jeonnam
Dragon's and Michael's Seoul E-Land hold down third and fourth for
the final playoff spots. They discuss whether or not the teams can
hold on and what to expect in the few remaining
fixtures.
Before hopping in the Eulji
Lewis Mailbag, Dan returns to preview this weekend's title
decider between Ulsan and Jeonbuk and once again defends his
manager. Matthew offers up the keys to Jeonbuk coming away with
three points, and then hosts a jam-packed mailbag segment.
All that and more in this edition of the K League United
Podcast.
