No incompetence at all. The ground staff and refs checked the nets before KO and they were fine. Broken clips/materials couldn't be helped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monkey Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sunday is the date for the David McCallum testimonial. Well deserved recognition for the many years of service 'The Physio' has given to The Buffs. Some great players in these squads too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Good run out for Buffs today against a Bellshill side that never gave up. The highlight of the day a comprehensive hattrick from Dylan Mackin. Good to note that Bellshill are making strides on and off the park after nearly going out of business a few short years ago. Plenty advertising sponsorship around the park and building work going on. Best of luck to them for the future. Talbot at Buffs Park on Wednesday night up next followed by a trip to Barrhead to face Arthurlie in the West next Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monkey Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 A tough one to take tonight. Mr Haswell had his usual mare in his home town officiating a Buffs game. Why he gets to referee Buffs games I'll never know. A free kick that never was and a penalty that never was had the game over almost as soon as it had started. 3 late goals put a gloss on the scoreline for Talbot and not a fair reflection on the game. Talbot have the ability to destroy teams, they don't need a two goal start from any referee. On to Saturday for Buffs and a chance to get going again in the WoS Cup V Arthurlie in Barrhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow-wee Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 First we didn't deserve anything out of this game talbot were a class above us tonight . The free kick I didn't think it was but can't take anything away from Mick good strike and we are down 1.0 the penalty I thought was one so no complaints from me. In the second half I thought we showed a bit more urgency to get the ball forward and had 2 decent chances one which produced a good save from the Talbot keeper when we lost the 3rd it was over as a contest and while you chase a game like we did you leave yourself open and talbot took advantage of it and scored another 3 goals in the last ten minutes . This was our second test this season against a team who is going to be challenging for the league and as a team we have failed miserably and tells me and other buffs fans we are not good enough get to mount a serious challenge this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monkey Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Buffs have two midfielders playing central defence. We don't seem to have a centre back of note. That's maybe okay against the weaker teams, but against the top teams we are always going to get found out. Solid foundations from the back, absolutely essential in the premier league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of hard work and effort in the team, lacking a bit of quality at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park the Buffs Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 As the shoreline suggests this was an easy win for Talbot. Buffs played the wrong team - nowhere near competitive enough in the middle of the park. We played in the wrong manner - way too much playing out from the back on a windy, wet night. Talbots first 2 goals came from exactly this - desperate lunges to try and regain possession in and around our own box resulting in a free kick and a penalty for Talbot. To compound matters Buffs - players and management team threw their toys out the pram midway through the first half and never really recovered. Lastly with the game over at 3-0 we emptied our defence in a desperate attempt to get a consolation goal and instead shipped three more. The new management team have got a lot right this season. We’ve brought in some really good players and we play attractive football. However against teams like Talbot you need to compete in the middle of the park and give them no encouragement. You also need to cope better with adversity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected more from the Buffs and have to say all in I think based on last night you may struggle . Talbot fitter had more desire and ultimately more ability all over the pitch and especially from the bench . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, there's a few on this board giving him pelters this season. I'm not sure we'll struggle, but we won't be competing at the top end. Pretty much a season of consolidation for us, which isn't great for the supporters who aren't turning out in numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need to cope better with adversity. We aren't competitive in the middle of the park because we've a 39 year old in there who doesn't look 100% fit, other experienced centre mids forced to play centre back because we are short in there. We had Jordan Stuart and Ben Lewis on the bench, both are competitive in the middle, creative and carry a goal threat. One of our best players, Gavin Millar was left on the bench too, he has the ability to stretch teams and create things. As you say, the management team seem to really want to do well for the club and have done some good things. Looks like a period of consolidation beckons, mid league looks our place this year. At a time when we need numbers through the gates, it's going to be a tough few months ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADR Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The balance of the team is all over the place!! 2 central midfielders at centre half, a right back playing left back, a centre half in midfield along with another 3 central midfielders No width, no creativity & 1 ball puts "defence" bang in trouble Seems to be if you're signed this season you're automatically better than what was already in place & so far I can't say I've seen that In for a long hard slog this season & be lucky to stay away from relegation places 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
