Bryan Robson was pleased with Thailand’s performance in
their 3-1 win in Singapore on Saturday but not completely satisfied.
The ex-England captain, who took the Bangkok position in October, saw the Elephants move up to second in their 2011 Asian Cup qualification group at the halfway stage.
Sutee Suksomkit opened the scoring after 12 minutes from the penalty spot.
Fifteen minutes from time, Thersdak Chaiman doubled the visitiors’ advantage and the game was all over with eight minutes remaining as Suksomkit got his second.
Mustafic Fahrudin pulled a goal back for the hosts six minutes.
"What we worked on the training and they did that very well that gave them the platform to create chances which we did in first half." said Thailand's coach Bryan Robson according to the-afc.com.
"Apart from the penalty, we created two or three very good chances where we might have scored and so that was very pleasing." added the former Middlesborough, West Bromich Albion and Sheffield United manager.
"Second Half, I thought we got a bit stretched as compared to the first half, which was a very good performance and we were little bit fortunately on couple of occasions when the balls bounced kindly for us, otherwise Singapore might have get back to (the) game.
"And on the counter-attack, we thought we deserved the second goal and it was a great move and good finish by Therdsak (Chaiman) to put us two-nil in front."
"What disappointed me is after we scored the third goal, we lost concentration and I felt that's the one weakness we have after playing well and lost it."
The two teams meet again in Bangkok on Wednesday.
