With the Buffs having failed in the 1st round of the Cup, a typical Scottish Glorious Failure (unbeaten but out
) there were 2 adjusted targets that the Buffs wanted to put in the Club's Record Book.
1. Undefeated in all competitions for the Season - FAILED, we lost a CL SF this season; and
2. Win the league by leading outright from Round 1 - ACHIEVED, 11-0 win in Round 1 put us top and we never shifted (we have 1 league game left but are 14 pts clear with others to play 2).
So to date, in 17 Seasons, the Buffs have:
- 14 league titles;
- 10 CL Trophies; and
- 3 Cups.
Steve Nicol, DL/DC has now played 378 matches - a Club Record. A decision must be made on whether we carry him over and nurse him through matches to reach 400 or bin him and keep near 7* Colin Jackson. (Its not looking good for Stevie
>.< )
If he's binned then we'll probably be looking for one of the following players to chase down the 400 mark (a long term target):
- 20 yo GK Craig Gordon (136);
- 21 yo ST Jack Harper (180); or
- 23 yo DL/DC Andy Robertson (236).
It had always been an ambition to get the Buffs MCs averaging 7.50 or over in a Season. Either of Henderson and Morrison have come close in different Seasons but Nordeus scuppered the validity of the target with the ratings changes.
Nevertheless both MCs, Henderson & Morrison, exceeded 7.50 this Season: 7.67 and 8.00 in 35 and 38 matches respectively.
Season 18
Next Season's targets are:
- The treble (hopeful);
- 200 goals in all competitions (highly unlikely); and
- 6 or more goals scored by a player in 1 match (unlikely).
