After a poor start to the season, we can breathe easy again. Two wins on the trot has put
Melbourne a point from first place, though the A-League is so tight this season that we're still
only in sixth place. But it's good to see the team hit some form at last.
With a third of the season almost done, I thought I'd pop in to share my thoughts on how the
mighty Victory are faring this year.
Brilliant goal by Sutee Suksomkit! The preseason match between Thailand and Liverpool ended in a
1-1 draw.
Super Reds v Tampines 1-3 (Yu Hyun Koo; Aliff Shaffien, Sutee 2) 689
Noh Alam Shah and Mustafic Fahruddin may have been missing from the Stags' line up but they still
had enough to overcome Super Reds. Life goes on eh but the fans stayed away because, well,
because...

Singapore v Thailand 1-3 (Mustafic Fahruddin; Sutee Suksomkit 2, Therdsak Chaiman) 22,183
First 20 minutes the Thais showed why they are best side in ASEAN as their slick passing and
intelligent moving tore the Singapore rearguard to shreds.
Prompted by the impressive Datsakorn Thonglao at the heart of the midfield the Thais spread the
play and often had the Singaporeans chasing shadows.
