It's going to be a long, tough season for Nonthaburi this year. At the end of last season I said we should keep Manop, Janewit, Prasop, Korawut, Grant, Reece, and Sathit. Due to budget cuts only one of those players (Janewit) is still with us and it showed yesterday.
In all honesty it's a challenge to be positive about this game but let me try: the pitch looks far better than I expected after the floods of 2011. Janewit is still class, the goalie had a good game and our new number 19, "Bunsawut" I think his name is, looks quality. There was a brief flurry by Eka towards the end of the game that woke the crowd up and that in turn lifted the players, I hope they remember that feeling and give the crowd some attacking football to cheer for next time.
In reality the new squad need a whole lot of training and teaching. Still at least we have a team to support and support them we will, whatever happens.

Opening day defeat
Eka went down 0-2 at Kasetstart in a fixture played in Nakhom Pathom as the D2 Bangkok champions are still suffering the after-effects of the floods at their home stadium near The Mall Ngamwongwan.
It's looking like a long, tough season for Nontahburi this year.Eighteen teams are battling to get out of D2 Bangkok and goodness knows how many teams are competing for just 3 promotion spots this season. It's a truly ludicrous situation and it beggars belief that people as supposedly educated, prestigious and well-salaried as the TFA can't see the need to create a new division.
