Bimbo's Season 6 Review

This seasons campaign saw Boston Utd make some progress and a minor improvement over last seasons 8th place finish with 51 points  this time we ended up in 7th place with 58 pts to our name!We won 18 of our 34 matches, drew 4 (twice against OUFC!!!) and lost 12 of our games. We created a club record by scoring over 100 goals in a season  finishing with 103 goals for and only 60 against, giving us a healthy goal difference of +43. Once again, yours truly, Bimbo was top scorer with 48 and his strike partner, Phoenix finished with 37 goals. A number of other players also chipped in and perhaps surprisingly the next highest scorer was our captain AJ with 4 against his name. (All four of these were scored in our last game against the unfortunate BallD!!!) Our German international midfielder, Matze scored 3, then a clutch of players managed 2 goals each, including our keeper, Gunny! (also scored in our final game!) Others with 2 were Gavin, Numbnutz and Undo; Mickey only managed 1 this season (he normally has more from midfield) and both Kithy and Ulpetr similarly finished with one apiece.
Needless to say, our highest wins were against BallD, at 10-0 and 9-0 respectively, but we had other high-scoring games against the Widows, winning 9-5 and a 7-2 win against Geronimo. We did the double against Allstars, proving BUFC were the stars on the pitch, beating them 5-0 both home and away! In contrast, our worst performance was a home game against London, that saw us beaten 1-5 and the seasons crunch match against the Toon was a painful 4-5 loss. In an unusual turn of events, we faced Pablo11 three times this season and achieved the trebled here, beating them 2-0, 5-0 and 4-1 to take 9 points off them  I'm sure Pab wont be pleased!
At the other end our defenders and goalkeeper kept an impressive 11 clean sheets (another BUFC record!) We gained more attention from the ref this season, collecting a total of 18 Yellows and 5 Red cards! Our worst offender was Mickey with 3Y and 1R, and Ulpetr who received 2 straight Reds!In a season of records, we saw another first as for the first time in our history we (briefly!) held the top spot after game 4 and our 2-0 win against London. Sadly we only managed to hang on to P1 for that fleeting moment, although following victory over Sad Leg in match 10 we were in 2nd place again for a short while. Our lowest position all season was 8th. Our best winning streak was 6 on the trot (games 15 to 20) and where we normally finish the season well, this time we suffered 5 straight defeats in matches 28 to 32 good job we won our last 2 games!
In terms of awards, Bimbo received 7 MoM, Phoenix was next with 4, Mickey picked up 3, Matze and Gunny 2 each, NN, Gav and Mickey one each. This season we saw HD go out on loan to BMB  our thanks and best wishes to him for all his efforts on behalf of BUFC!And that wraps up this season - onwards and upwards Boston!!! We are United..!!!
