New! First Leg Reviews - 11. Chiang Rai Utd (Alec Peeples): 2022

Today it's the turn of Chiang Rai Utd fan, Alec Peeples to pass his verdict on his team's first leg performance and look forward to the rest of the campaign.



Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Hard to complain too much about sitting 6th in the table, I guess. Things could always be worse. That said we played terrible football and got handled very easily by all the other 'big' teams. Not many positives to take other than the performances from Victor and Diego. Two great defenders that I'm very pleased to have with us this season.


Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
Not sure I have one. We've generally just been uninspiring, played boring football, and haven't produced any really memorable perforamance or results.


Q - And the low point?
Probably the last month of the leg. Losing 4-1 to Buriram. Then losing in the cup to Ayutthaya. Then losing 3-1 to BG. Just a pretty bad run of results. I was glad for the break.


Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season?
Buriram of course. Terrific football and their position in the table shows how much better they've been than everyone else.


Q – And the worst? 
Khon Kaen Utd. Bad football. Poor attitudes. Not a fan!


Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for 
a) your club? 
I hope Bonilla is the solution to the striker issue we've had since the decline of Bill. We have been toothless in attack for a long, long time.

b) the league in general?
My biggest complaint about the league at the moment is its broadcast. I have watched barely any Thai football this season outside of the CRUTD matches I've attended. AIS is horrible and I'd rather not deal with shoddy streams pumped full of gambling ads. Obviously that won't get addressed in 1/2 a season but it's hard to come up with any other suggestions when I can't even see the product.


Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title
'Road to Nowhere'


Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
Nope!
