Sticky period of the Season for the Buffs with the planets aligning, trolls amassing and unlooked for threats crawling out of nowhere.

Catch-up

League: Buffs lose 3-2 in the league away to 3rd place side after 2nd got trolled by lower table side.

(Nordeus God giveth and taketh away )

After the only other league defeat this season Buffs Mad vowed there would be no more 3 man defence experiments.
Sooooooo, today the Buffs were sent out in a 3-1-3N-2-1 >.< against the oppositions 4-1-3N-1-1.

Home side took a 2 goal lead in a 2 min flurry of activity just before half-time - 1 from a triple corner and 1 from a FK. Midfielder Fletcher was hauled off and Right Back Gough was on with a switch to 4-5-1V. Henderson scored from a cross on 58 min but Home side immediately went 2 up again with a blistering strike on 59. DMC McNeill scored a solo effort in 75 mins and was then hauled off for Dalglish as Buffs changed to a Hex for final 10 minutes. McStay skimmed the bar with a FK on 89 mins and the match ended Buffs 2 Steven FC 3.

Buffs remain 4 pts clear at the top and must prepare quickly (again) for Cup 2nd leg to try to overhaul a 1st leg 2-1 defeat.

Cup: Valiant Buffs FC fail to pull back from the 2-1 loss away and are held to a 1-1 draw at Buffs Park and go out of the Cup in the QFs.

Buffs went behind after 2 mins but battled back to gain a foothold in the match. With Buffs more fired up in the second half McFadden scored the equaliser on the 54th minute. It was end to end stuff after that with Buffs enjoying territory and possession but the visitors threatening regularly. Wingers McFadden and Henderson tired and Cooper and Johnstone came on. As with the previous league match it fell to McStay to try to grab a late lifeline from a FK but the visiting GK made a breathtaking save and, after the resultant corner came to nothing, the ref blew up.

Buffs Mad said afterwards "It was a thrilling run while it lasted and was more than we dared dream. Obourg showed just a bit more quality and the Manager's greater experience told. We will learn and grow for next year!"

Champions League: Buffs FC win 3-1 away from home in the QF 1st leg. Both sides were same Q but the home manager was absent.

Buffs went 1 down form a corner in 15 mins. Henderson levelled from a McStay FK on the right with a half-volley, McStay pushed the Buffs ahead with a solo effort in 81 mins and Henderson completed the scoring with a tap in after Law did all the work rounding the keeper.

Buffs set up in 4-3-2W-1 with the opposition in a 3-5-2 Flat.

League: Buffs FC win 5-0 at home to go 5pts clear at the top as the chasing pack cut each others throats.

New signing Joe Jordan scores on his debut.

League: Trolls are amassing outside Buffs Park as the Buffs are held to a 2-2 draw. Thats 2 wins 1 draw and 2 losses after an undefeated 1st half of the season.....but we're still clear by 3pts as 2nd changes again. But I don't think we'll withstand this luck much longer. XD

Buffs conceded 8 corners in the 1st 20 mins then none until opposition scored their first from a triple corner in 57 mins.
