[Buffs Mad]

Thanks, steady enough start to the season.

Day 1 was merely 2 wins in the cup against an abandoned team. Day 2 was more eventful.

First up was a league match. Looked to be tight affair with opponent 3pts ave Q higher, playing 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond, so I set up a bit 'safe' opting for a 4-5-1V in defensive mentality (but still with 2 wingers pushing on). Had most of the possession but he had most of the threat. Very tense. Both defenses stood up to the challenge manfully until my lone striker split though the defense in the 78th minute, shimmied round the goalkeeper and then - as this caring/sharing guy usually does - passed for an MC to score.

Second up was my first venture into the CL. Buffs FC looked to be heavy favourite on paper against a flat 3-4-3 2star side. I got a bit lazy and just switched to offensive mentality leaving formation as is. A pretty unexciting 3-0 resulted. That said, my AMR/AMC on the right was inspired: coming in for a header from a freekick on the left, a 'mazey-dribble' solo effort with a chip over the keeper to finish and a shot from distance in off the bar. A hat-trick hero - 7 goals in 4 games for him so far this season. (He'll probably break his leg tomorrow.)

Cup and league tomorrow in the afternoon so I'll need to watch some videos for extra rests some time.
