    Thank you QY, good advice.

    Buffs FC end a difficult and highly competitive league campaign with a 4-0 home win. The players, while somewhat jaded, are carried along on the fans euphoria from the recent CL win.

    Season Summary in pictures:







    Season 2 Review

    A mid season slump took the momentum from the Buffs in the league and they could never regain it. While all the teams stuttered and stumbled the eventual winners were the first team to obtain some degree of consistency. In the league its fair to say that Buffs lost the big games.

    In summarising the league campaign Buffs Mad said "When we had to win we didn't. I take a large slice of blame there. When we hit the front my outlook changed - from striving for the lead and seeking the wins to get there, I allowed fear to enter, the fear of losing what we had. Its a lesson learned. My father once said, "if you want to wear that Celtic top in this town then you better learn to run, learn to run fast and keep running until all is safe - never look back, you might stumble.""

    In the Champions League, Buffs secured the Cup at the 1st attempt undefeated scoring 55 goals in the process. Buffs Mad said "We embraced the format of the Champions League. The constant need to win drove us on. I'm very proud of our achievements. I look at that trophy and think what could be better? Another one!"

    The Cup saw Buffs eliminated in the Qualifying round. A home draw and a 0-0 stalemate for most of the return meant the Buffs had to push - but went out to an 89th minute counter. Buffs Mad reflected "We went out and we went out early. There is no room for mistakes in the Cup. As long as we continue to strive for success in the Cup and make progress then I'll be happy."

    Season 3 Planning

    When asked about plans for the new Season 3 Buffs Mad revealed "The Board are still considering the Budget and an announcement is imminent but it has already indicated I will remain in post next year with another review at the end of the Season. I will strengthen the playing Squad with at least 2 new Hot Prospects identified by our Scouting Network and 4 Youngsters from the open market. Its likely that 3 players will leave the Club and although 3 more will play fewer games they will remain key players - I will rotate more. The plan is to have strength in depth. We will seek quality improvements too but our key priority will be the aggregation of marginal gains - making small improvements in every area possible. Our trophy cabinet might have space but our hearts are jam-packed with hope and expectation."

    "We will attack more and concede less. We won't get sidetracked, we wont look back, we're ready for the off. Steady the Buffs!"
