I get twitchy on these quiet days. They’re too quiet; I need action, excitement, something to do. At this stage of the season there just isn’t much I can do, however. It’s both too soon and too late to go looking for new players. I know my squad—its strengths and weaknesses. We’re top of the table, so I don’t need to think up a master plan to turn around our fortunes and finish strongly (I do need to find a way to keep us playing well, but that’s an on-the-fly thing).
There’s nothing for me to do right now, and I wonder if other managers have this problem. Do they enjoy the calm before the storm that is the final two months of the season? Or do they wish they could just fast-forward or skip through it, as you would in a game—gloss over the tedious, boring stuff and get straight to business. Waiting sucks; I want to get this thing over and done with. I’m starting to wish I could take this job three or four days at a time, instead of only one. Oh, if my life could be a video game.
A note from your editor
As you might have guessed, the “one day at a time” part of this blogging challenge is starting to grate. I shall persevere, though—I still have lessons that can be learnt about gaming and football management and whensoever the two meet. And I still have a season to finish. Rest assured, dear reader, this experiment will go on.
