Season 65

[Buffs Mad]

Catch-up

The Buffs feel like a ruderless ship atm with the supporters' groups holding Sack the Board and Sack the Manager protests.

League (yesterday): The tie against 2nd represented an immediate opportunity to stop the rot. It was a tense tight affair with the home side going ahead in 2 mins but the Buffs came back for a 1-1 draw. The opposition slip to 3rd and remain 4pts behind but the Buffs lead is now cut to 2pts to 2nd. Buffs Mad was not that impressed.

League: Buffs FC welcome 8th to the crumbling fortress of Abbey Park. Should've been a routine win and it was - 4-0. Still 2pts ahead of 2nd but 3rd draw again and fall to 6pts behind. 2nd and 3rd meet in 2 days time. No more than expected.

****ty Cup, the god-damned crappy Cup: In the words of Rolf Harris "Can you tell what it is yet?" >.<

The Buffs crash out of the Cup, again, with a 1-0 loss away. The Buffs created chances, again, as in the first leg (1-1) but just couldn't convert them. The only goal of the match came courtesy of a counterattack on 90 mins - as the Buffs pressed harder, desperate for that elusive goal. But it was not that concession that hurt but the lack of a finish before then. Although the Buffs offered more threat again his GK and DC 'last line' proved up to the task.

PS. I had ignored his friends request until now but accepted it after the match.

Next time? Grrrrr.

Now in the CL tomorrow we have to win by 2 or more clear goals - and confidence has sapped from the management team.

1 goal win, 3-2 -> 6-6 agg so out on away goals.

4 league games to secure league - in 1st half we won all 4 by 3/1/5/4 goals, conceding none, so took a punt, sold 2 players and another 2 up for sale.

Lost interest in this season now >.< (so fickle ) Bring on the new one

PS. Friend requests sent to get other Cup Finalist and likely CL finalists on my list to fill potential gaps for next seasons league. Also accepted a random request.
