Relegation Blues ???

This weekend's game against high flying Prachuap is a vital one for the Swatcats. There is still hope for a bounce back victory after last's week's disappointment but with mid table being so tight, a loss could see us drop down the table dramatically.

Our potential and realistic position is around 12^th -14^th place (with 14^th - 18^th teams doomed to the drop). Our decent and rather fortunate start has given us a chance of survival and I remain positive in my thoughts that the team will fight 100% to retain premiership survival.

Air Force appear to be doomed and Ubon seem to have given up - they have released 5 of their top players for financial reasons. Navy are having a really bad run and I think they will go down.

The fight for the remaining 2 relegation spots is between Tero, Chainat, Ourselves and maybe Pattaya. I just cannot see Bangkok Glass going down, although they are struggling and stranger things have happened.

Although we are only 3 points above the bottom 5, there is an 8 point gap to 15th place Glass and a massive 11 point gap to 14^th place Navy. Things are going to get really tight - we need to concentrate on beating the lower placed teams which I think we can do. If we can just survive this potentially traumatic 5 down season, I think the club can cement its long term Premiership tenure -  hold on to your hats!!
