Bangkok Storm Football Club

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been playing good football but losing. Here we played pretty bad football but managed to win. It wasn't pretty, we tried a new formation and almost paid the price for it, the other team had better chances then us, and on any other day, we would have probably lost. But we didn't. And due to Vic's tenacity, we won by one goal.

Vic didn't give up and toe poked the ball into the net after a bad mistake by the other team's CB. Without that goal though, I couldn't see us scoring at all. Our passing and movement were non existent and even our typically composed players weren't playing up to their standard.

But our effort was there and we never gave up. It was scrappy, it was ugly, and yes, we were lucky, but that's football and a win is a win.

We started off pretty poor and both teams were just knocking the ball back and forth between the two keeper areas without creating any real chances. Tor had one pretty routine save to make all half with most of their shots not finding the target at all.

We created zero chances and forced their keeper to zero saves, all he had to do was catch a ball now and then that was pretty harmless.

They had a couple of fast players but never really put us under any pressure in our half but the same could be said for us in their half.

The second half wasn't much better although we did start to trouble them especially down our left flank. They did have better opportunities then we did, they just didn't take them. We started getting more shots on goal but most of them missed the target, only difference was we were getting closer to the target than the first half.

Nut and Jay did very well in a more withdrawn role. Cuno and Christian proved we can play with wingbacks, but we need to improve our overall game. Positioning, passing and our movement were all very poor.

Vic scored a blue collar goal and June was my Man Of the Match.

It was a scrappy game. No real flow to it, either team could have nicked it, but the game was fair, both teams played hard but clean, and on this day, we were fortunate and we walked away the victors.

We deserved our three points but if we continue to play like we did, we won't be getting many more of them this season.

All due respect to our opponents, but we really must play better than we did.

Celtic is up next and we'll really know where we stand after this weekend.
