The headline result was PT Satun’s 3–0 win over Muangthong United. After beating Songkhla in the previous round, Satun look increasingly comfortable at this level.

Songkhla were the only side to win on the road, and they did it emphatically. Their 3–0 victory at Police Tero was impressive, particularly against a side that began the season among the early pace-setters.

The promoted teams had a very satisfactory midweek:

• PT Satun won 3–0
• Muang Loei United won 2–0
• Uttaradit held Nongbua Pitchaya to a 2–2 draw

That is a strong return from three difficult fixtures. Satun were the outstanding performers, but all three clubs showed that they belong in Thai League 2.

Chiangmai United’s 3–1 home win over Khon Kaen United was another important result. They took control with a brace before half time and finished strongly, while Khon Kaen suffered their first defeat of the campaign.

Kasetsart’s difficult start continued with a 2–0 defeat at Chanthaburi. They remain without a point after three matches, while Chanthaburi finally picked up their first win.

There were some fabulous goals in midweek - great strikes from Tanapat (CMU) and Apisit (Nongbua); fabulous solo efforts from Amadou (Chanthaburi) and Mauricio Cortes (Satun), a really smart finish from Chitchanok (Mahasarakham) and an outrageous goal from Ratthaphum (Loei).

The headlines from last weekend:

A two-horse early pace-setter — Police Tero and Khon Kaen United are both perfect (6/6, 4–0 aggregates, zero conceded). Tero's organisation vs Khon Kaen's ruthlessness.

Uttaradit are the surprise package — a first-ever T2 season, and they're unbeaten (4 pts, two clean sheets) after holding Muangthong and beating Kasetsart. .

Muang Loei's statement win — a 3–0 win over Chainat lifts them into mid-table and shows the promoted trio (Uttaradit, Satun, Muang Loei) all have legitimate fight.

The away-day league continues — confirmed decisive results again mostly went to visitors; home advantage looks thin in this division.

PT Satun have character — conceding first then scoring three on the road, twice now, behind a 5,000-strong backing.

Kasetsart are the early crisis club — the only side with zero points and no goals after two rounds. That's a storyline to watch.

Many thanks for listening and for your support and encouragement throughout the season.

Phil's question on the likelihood of the 3 relegated teams going straight back to T1 made it clear that I know nothing about betting!

My decimal point was wrong

2/1, 2/1, 5/1 in an accumulator is 53/1 - an implied likelihood of 1.85% - that might be a reasonable call !
