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.
