With the new Strike partnership only 6 days in, Left Winger, John Robertson is clinging on to the Club's top scorer title for the season so far.



Robertson is a 'one-season wonder' capture bought for impact. SP gain doesn't matter he just needs to do a job this season then find a new club.

Defence

The defence is still operating well.

Last Season's Nordgen DL/DC Andy Robertson isn't as keen on playing DL as last Season but continues to progress so fast that he might start next Season only a couple of Q away from 7*.
22 yo DL/DC Steve Nicol, with over 200 games under his belt, isn't the star performer he was but still doesn't know what a 6 rating looks like He's not yet regained his 7* again this Season yet but could cling on to a starting spot next Season when the squad is expected to swell again to get a new defence ready.
22 yo DC/DMC Alan Hansen is in a similar position to Nicol. Although he shared the DMC spot with the former Buffs' DMC Billy McNeill, he's fast closing in on 200 games and just might hold on to a starting spot next season.
On the right DC/DR Richard Gough is another 'one-season wonder' who has proved reliable. He might even get a start next season since Buffs Mad seems to have lost his appetitite this season for an early trawl of the TM for youths.

Midfield

Dave Mackay, MC, one season wonder with Playmaker SA, has been a very good performer on the left. However, he has proven to be a bit 'over-committed' in the tackle and has gathered 6 yellows this Season already - which account for his occasional 6 ratings. Buffs Mad is currently in discussions regarding a suitable medication to curb this.
Scott Brown and Fernando Ricksen have shared the right midfield slot, with the other taking up central role when required, but have recently been overshadowed by new Academy Recruit McCabe (yet to be renamed).
McCabe, MC, 18 yo is the newly gained 5* upstart. So far he's excelled in both the left and right roles as sub and starter. He looks promising and if it keeps up he might just earn a more intensive Quality boost. However, he does look like the kind of Academy enigma that the Buffs had 3 Seasons ago in AMR/MR Shaun Maloney. Although training well, as would be expected from such a costly youth, his Market Value is suspiciously low and Buffs Mad is fearful that McCabe might slump in training in Season 2 just like Maloney did.

Wingers

Apart from John Robertson, one season wonder, who has excelled so far, the right winger, Willie Henderson is clinging on to a starting spot by his fingertips. No bad performances but he's not exactly set the heather alight either.

Strikers

After an early season goal-scoring crisis, and against his better judgement, Buffs Mad opted to secure 2 Strikers from the Scout Market. Its a bit early to assess them but it appears that they take turns with the marksman role - Dalglish scored 6 in the first few games, then stopped, and Archibald then started, and as scored 5 in the last few. Overall the assessment would be 'blowing hot n cold'.

Subs

The subs are unremarkable. The Buffs are operating light with a DC/DR, 2 MCs and a Striker.

Three Stooges

Larry, Curly and Moe have now managed to avoid seeing any game time in they're 3 Seasons at the Club.
