In the last few years playing against Bays I've always seen them as a fairweather team. When things are going well for them they look like contenders to win the league but when its time to roll up your sleeves they've always been lacking. I remember in 2009 a top of the table clash between Bays and tech. Tech were 2-1 down with 5 to go playing into a howling southerly. Tech won 3-2 (ironically Kamo got the winner). Bays sank down the table after that and went on a 8 game losing streak, only surviving relegation via the play-offs. By bringing in Kamo and the Brazillian lad they've at least got that quality up front that means when chances come 9 times out of 10 they'll put it away. They seemed a bit lacking playing us but then you could put that down to a 1 0ff and Kamo was suspended. I guess what I'm trying to say is that winning leagues (be it la liga or the mainland) does'nt always come down to having the best team on paper, sometimes you need experience, confidence and a little bit of bollucks. Coastal will be kicking themselves because if they had won that one, I would have predicted a similer freefall to 2009 for bays.
