Season 59

[Buffs Mad]

Catch-Up

Yesterday was an important day, psychologically, for the Buffs. CL match gave the side the opportunity to put the opening rond defeat to rest and go top v a 4-1-3N-2. It also gave an opportuntity to refine the system ahead of the top of the league clash against the same formation.

Champions league: The Buffs stepped out in a 4-3N-2W-1 to face the Group leager's 4-1-3N-2. Two goals from the Lawman and a hat-trick from newly signed right winger Willie Johnston secured the 5-0 win. The Buffs now top the Group on goal difference.

League: The Buffs faced a stern test against the (same Q) league leader but persisted in 4-3N-2W-1, albeit electing to start defensively and trying to hit them on the break.

Two goals in the first half hour put the Buffs ahead. Nerves tightened slightly when the Buffs were caught at a corner shortly after the restart but withing 6 mins CK specialist Archie Gemmill scored in off Paul Lamberts head. 15 mins later the opposition struck again as their Super-sub tore the Buffs rearguard apart. But within a minute Right Winger Willie Johnston repaid his transfer fee in full with a crucial solo effort. 4-2 the final result.



The Buffs go top on goal difference - but for how long?

With 3 new transfer captures and a heavy training schedule the Buffs have now closed the Quality Gap and are just ranked second to the full 6* Quality leader, who lies 6th. O.o
