Suphanburi kept hold of survival specialist and long-time affiliate Adebayo Gbadebo and are shaping up to be one of the meanest defenses in the division, giving them solid hope of survival one again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wonderkid &#8211; Jirawat Thongsaengphrao<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was quite a surprise when Suphanburi FC announced the signing of left-back, Jirawat Thongsaengphrao from Ratchaburi FC. No one knows how they got this deal through, but one thing is for sure, the 21-year-old has the potential to be a Suphanburi star for years to come. Jirawat is a solid set-piece taker and a good crosser &#8211; two crucial qualities to make it far as a modern fullback. Defensively, he could be better, but if there is any head coach who can do that for Jirawat, it&#8217;s Adebayo Gbadebo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Signing &#8211; Felipe Amorim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suphanburi FC had the worst attacking record of any T1 club in 2019, scoring a total of 29 league goals. It&#8217;s no surprise that attacking reinforcements were the number one priority during the off-season, ergo the arrival of Felipe Amorim. The Brazilian player&#8217;s creativity and was quite evident he already added a breath of freshness to the Warrior Elephant&#8217;s forward line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Leader &#8211; Suphan Thongsong\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last season, Suphanburi FC sorely missed Suphan Thongsong composure and leadership in defense after the captain suffered a serious injury with the Thai national team. The former-Muangthong United center-back looks hungry to play and seems fitter than ever. It&#8217;s no fluke that Suphanburi has kept two clean sheets from their first 4 games, twice earning his team 0-1 victories. If Suphan can stay injury-free, he&#8217;ll increase Suphanburi&#8217;s survival chance tenfold and maybe win himself a place in Akira Nishino&#8217;s national team selection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obb Deewajin Football Tribe Thailand &nbsp; Suphanburi have narrowly avoided relegation for a number of seasons now and managed to remain in T1 on a technicality after being bailed out of the drop zone by PTT Rayong&#8217;s decision to fold at the end of last season.
