New! First Leg Reviews - 7. Lamphun Warrior (Ben Davies): 2022

Lamphun Warrior fan, Ben Davies, shares his opinions on the first half of the season and looks ahead to the second leg.


Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season? 
The first 10 games were a tough watch and a baptism of fire. At times it looked like we were never going to score a goal let alone win a game! In contrast the last 5 games have been very positive and we haven't lost any and won 4. The new Brazilian manager has obviously had an instant impact.


Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
The highlight for me was the away win against Lampang,our local rivals. Not the best performance but the team finally showed some grit and determination to win 2-1 with a last gasp winner. It was a great full away end too!


Q - And the low point? 
The lowest I felt this season was a 5-0 thumping at home to Muangthong. It was the beginning of the end of the ex manager.  The feeling around the stadium was grim and the players were getting pelters.


Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season? 
Muangthong and Chonburi . Chonburi looked very slick on the ball and we couldn't get it off them for long periods. Muangthong were clinical in front of goal.


Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for 
a) your club? 
Our hopes are simple. To stay up. That would be a great achievement . I also hope some of our players start putting in better performances as they are on decent money.

b) the league in general?
I just hope the Thai leagues continue to grow and that attendances pick up a bit more. Lamphun at 700year in Chiang  Mai has been a bit of a ball ache for some. It is also too big. Cant wait to get back to our old rundown shack!


Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title 
Song - "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Rolling Stones.


Q – Anything else you’d like to add? 
Just like to say whatever the results are we always go along to the games for a laugh , a drink and to see friends. It's all about the day out. Keep supporting your local Thai teams!
