Buff eh!

Really disappointing performances by Buffs today. The 2-1 defeat at Troon actually flattered them. From the first whistle Troon won all the second balls and grew in confidence. Buffs showed no desire, were static in the middle of the park and had zero penetration with misplaced passes being far more common than accurate ones. Troon strolled into a deserved 2 goal lead in the second half through Ryan Stevenson and Dylan Pooler. Nade had earlier missed the best chances in the first half. It wasn’t until Dean Keenan’s own goal in the 85th minute that Buffs showed any real urgency but sadly it was too late. Too many players off form today to mention any positives. Buffs team - Strain, White, McCloskey, Maitland, Syme, Fleming, Nisbet, Lewis, Boylan, Wardrope, McKenzie. Used subs - Curragh, Monti.

You are wasting your time conversing with him. I had to laugh at his use of the word “constructive”. Prior to the Cumnock game the defence had 3 clean sheets. The 2 goals lost last Saturday were due to Strain off his line, no cap on,losing a 40 yard chip. Second goal Lewis gives the ball away cheaply in midfield and the whole defence is out of position for the break away. Interesting he slags off the young boys in defence yet he wasn’t even at the game. His whole thread has been an attack on McLevy since he signed, who if you actually watch play is clearly the most accurate passer of the ball in the squad. Yes he’s a bit physically weak but remember he is still a 2000 boy. When McLevy was subbed at the start of the second half the Buffs fans around me were raging, their opinion was that he was the best attacking threat in the first half. Buffs didn’t deserve to be losing at half time as they had been decent enough, but the second half performance was dismal, (McLevy was off). As I said the defence get it in the neck, yet Buffs inconsistency is due to their inability to pass the ball accurately, giving the ball away cheaply, lack of intelligent runs and no composure in front of the goal. Louis Mooie doesn’t like to mention that but I’m delighted he can enjoy Joe Coleman back, but once again Mooie thinks he’s proved right by Joe’s signing in his sarcastic use of the word “coincidence”, but if he really knew what was going on at the club he would know that McLevy sustained an injury in training that keeps him out of the squad. At least a few fans on here will be pleased. Today, McBookie has the Buffs as strong favourite at 2/7 to beat Banks O’ Dee. If Buffs play to their Cup form this season then they should comfortably take care of Dee.
