Nonthaburi FC 1 Central Lions 1


The new Eka scarf, new shirt to follow soon


Eka failed to build on last week's incredible performance and had to settle for a point against a mediocre Central Lions FC.

The game was very even and Eka still look far more confident and capable than the team of the first half of the season. A drop by goalie Pitthawas allowed CLFC to take the lead in the middle of the second half and Pitthawas went off injured before play resumed, though I think pride was the truly injured party in his case. Eka responded almost immediately with a goal from Apirak and the game finished one all.

On the balance of chances, I'd say we can just about consider ourselves unlucky not to win. If we could increase our conversion of chances by just ten percent, we wouldn't finish bottom this season.

Goalie Pitthawas apologised to fans on Facebook after the game. I say he was entitled to a mistake like any other human being and his performance at Samut Sakhon last week was probably MOTM quality, so I can't wait to see him back between the sticks.

Next up is a visit to Globex FC on Sunday. We simply have to win.
