Sukhothai FC supporter, Bill Greaves, gives us his opinions on the season just finished.
What are your overall impressions of your club’s season?
Our high scoring team from the second division died, went to heaven and left a sorry mess that had no idea where the opposing goal mouth was. We MUST learn how to score goals. Getting Baggio back was our best move off the field followed closely by getting Bonilla back (I hope that that is true)
I was sorry to lose Dennis Amato but, in hindsight, Coach Laksana was more than up to the task of coaching the team.
What did your club get right and wrong on and off the field?
On the field we scraped by and we have to do better next season. Off the field we seem to be incredibly successful in the free transfer market. Yes, we have made some meteoric blunders but, all in all, someone, somewhere is doing something right. Keep it up.
What advice would you give them ahead of next season?
Interim coach Laksana, told the players to get out there play football and enjoy doing it. My advice is to follow the coach’s instructions.
Who have been your best players this season?
Baggio is always consistently great. Goalie Kittipun (and not just because he gave me his shirt), captain Sila and defender Solda were also consistent. My personal favourite was #6 Jakkit, who is listed as a defender but set up many of our few goals.
And who hasn't performed?
Kenshiro Daniels, but they never let him play. I liked him and am sorry to see him go. Supravee from Ratchaburi often showed potential but not much more. Max suffered cruel injuries and had a horrible year but I am hoping that next season Max will bloom (injury free) and dominate the mid-field as I know he can.
Which players, or type of players, would you like to sign for next season?
For years I have been wanting a big, ugly, angry defender. I think I will stick with that.
Which was your team’s best performance this season?
The 3–0 home win against Chiang Rai.
And your worst?
Home and away losses to Lamphun and/or Prachuap.
Which was your favourite away trip?
Was it the glorious win at Bangkok Glass or was it singing and dancing through the pouring rain during our loss to Muangtong?
And your least favourite?
Prachuap. We were not going to be relegated and no-one gave a damn. The food on the beach was incredible. Everything else was awful.
What was the best thing that happened to you personally whilst supporting your club this season?
Got my picture taken with a Euro Custard Cake girl at Buriram.
What are your impressions of the league overall this year?
A good season, attendance was up, I think. I attended every league game. A lot of good exciting games. Yes there is a big difference between the top and the bottom of the league but, still, anyone can beat anyone on any given day.
Which T1 team most impressed you?
Nong Bua. After the horrors that afflicted Nong Bua this year I have to say that. They played well and had good supporters. In a perfect world, I would get to travel to Nong Bua and Sisaket every season.
What has really annoyed you about Thai football this season?
Opposition supporters who jump up and down, cheer and laugh when they defeat the Firebats. Let’s have some respect.
Finally, what message would you like to give to fans of Thai football?
Two messages;
1 check out the commercial for the Revo Thai League. How many commercial messages do you like to watch? I have watched and enjoyed the Revo Thai League commercial on Youtube many times.
2 remember, you are a supporter not a fan. I can’t watch a game and not support one team or the other. Fans are overweight prawn sandwich guzzling oafs who only want to be seen.
