Montedio Yamagata -- Preseason Summary
Over the first decade of its existence, Montedio Yamagata have had quite a few ups and downs. From time to time the team manages to give much bigger opponents a tough fight, and edges towards the top end of the table, but it has never managed to battle its way all the way into the top-flight division. And every time that the team looks like moving into the ranks of promotion candidates, a larger club comes along and snaps up all their top players..
This season Montedio has put together a group of hard-working players who may be able to achieve qualified success. But the roster is very thin, and injuries to either of the team's key loanees -- Rychelly, who has been borrowed from FC Tokyo, or Yohei Toyoda, on the second year of a loan from Nagoya Grampus -- could seriously dent their hopes of remaining competitive. For the time being, we are adopting a conservative forecast for the team this year, since opposing clubs seem to be so much more aggressive about improving their lot in life. It is hard to see Montedio moving much above the middle of the pack.
2007 Finish: 9th Place
2008 Forecast: 9th-12th Place
