This term, Fagiano displayed their talents in defence. They lost only 35 goals of 42 matches. The number is the third best in this league. Even the division 2 champion, Omiya Ardija lost 37 goals, which means, Okayama's defenders were very stable throughout the season.
Former international, Iwamasa made an extraordinary contribution in reinforcing Fagiano's defence. He played at every match this season as a captain. Needless to say, he had a strong presence in the team, leading his teammates.
A goal keeper, Nakabayashi showed lots of excellent savings this season. He was ever-present this season and very stable. Obviously, his tremendous performances encouraged his teammates a lot.
A young defender, Shinohara improved himself a lot. Last year, he played for Roasso Kumamoto on a loan and gained playing experiences. It seems that those experiences encouraged him to play better. Even though, he had been on the injury-list for some time this year, his contribution for Okayama was admirable.
Other defenders, Takeda, Kondo and Kukita also performed solidly. Unfortunately, Ueda received injuries and missed most of the matches this season. The club are expected to maintain their defence next year.
