NEW! First Leg Reviews - 1. Port (Marco): 2022

Port fan, Marco, sums up his club's first leg performance and looks forward to the rest of the season.


Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Not very satisfied - although I was kind of expecting another mediocre season. We really should be doing better though. 


Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
My highlight of the season was winning away at Sukhothai. Nothing out of the ordinary on the face of it but it is our only away win in last 392 days. 


Q - And the low point? 
My low point was the away defeat to Samut Songkhram in the League Cup. A hardy bunch of us went there for a 3pm Wednesday kick-off only to see Port dumped out by a T3 side. With no chance of winning the league, both cup competitions should have been prioritized.


Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you have seen so far this season?
The best T1 team I have seen live this season is Buriram United. They weren't at their best against us but they were clinical and had a bit of extra class. 


Q – And the worst? 
The worst T1 team I have seen live this season is Nakhon Ratchasima. They were dreadful at PAT Stadium. They looked like they had come for a draw but even after falling behind they showed no ambition whatsoever. 


Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for 
a) your club? 
I am hoping we can go far in the FA Cup. It's our only remaining hope of silverware. In the league we need to find a way to win some games - way too many draws so far. Away form needs to improve massively too. 

b) the league in general?
I think it will be a fairly dull second-leg in general. Barring an aberration, Buriram have the title sewn-up, so the relegation scrap might provide the only source of intrigue. A lot of teams in mid-table will be going through the motions.  


Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title
I'll dedicate my choice to our top scorer Hamilton Soares for his 9 goals during the first-leg; 'Big Man Up Front' by Half Man Half Biscuit. 


Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
Roll on January 22nd!
