New! First Leg Reviews - 8. Bangkok Utd (Svein Falk Lorentzen): 2022

Next up in our series is Bangkok Utd fan, Svein Lorentzen. Here he 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 teams performance over the first half of the season? 
We started the season good, with 6-2-0 from the first 8 games. It looked very promising then, but I knew more difficult games were still to come. And they were more difficult. We dropped points both here and there, and from the last 7 games we only got 8 points, 2-2-3. Because of that we are already out of the title race. So, to answer your question, I`m not satisfied at all. I`m actually very disappointed! I wasn`t too optimistic before the season, due to disappointments from previous seasons, but I really didn`t think we would be out of the title race in November. 


Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far? 
Without a doubt the win against BG Pathum United. 


Q - And the low point? 
It`s been so many. First that we failed to beat Sukhothai. It was 2 points dropped. Same when we went to Port. Should have won easily, but we couldn`t score on our chances.


Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season? 
I don`t watch games in T1 except for Bangkok United, but Chonburi was good when we beat them. They deserved better from that game.


Q – And the worst? 
Khon Kaen United was poor when we played them.


Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for 
a) your club? 
None! At least not in the league. We have nothing to play for there. We will focus on the cups, according to the club, which is good. Hopefully we can win one of them, but I`m not putting any money on it. We have released players, and won`t replace them, and we are currently without a head coach since he resigned earlier this week.
 
b) the league in general? 
Again, none! But I would like to see Nongbua, Lampang and Lamphun relegated.


Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title 
Manchester United used Monty Python 30+ years ago, so I will use it too:
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life


Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
Happy New Year to everyone following Thai football
