Nonthaburi 0 North Bangkok 1

It was the same old story for Eka as we lost a game in which we had the lion's share of possession. After a very even first half, Eka had more of the chances in the second half but failed to capitalise, leaving North Bangkok the opening they required for a goal around the 65 minute mark.

Our problem is becoming increasingly clear - we lack a tall, powerful, natural striker to get on the end of the crosses and long balls from the defence. With none of our centre forwards really finding their form so far this season, we are relying on our attacking midfielders to score wonder goals. The law of averages says that won't work every week and so is the case. In short, we need to get a poacher in when the transfer window opens and until then, just keep being positive and creating chances.

Personally I'd like to see both Camara (Mohamed) and Ryan Reece starting each game, one on each flank, with Sathit playing striker, as he's the closest we have to a target man. This would widen our midfield, creating a little more space for the opposition but Jelani Grant is an an excellent holding player and although Prasop is a naturally attacking midfielder, I'm sure he could adjust his game slightly.

There also seems to be confusion over our kit this season. We've worn at least five deferent strips so far and the new shirt which is on sale (350 bt, a bargain) is not actually the one being worn by the players!
