Seventh day - Kahnn!!!!!!

The other coaches are nervous. This is not the expected Queen's Park. I was supposed to be poor, blocked to get new players and crushed by the Premier League friendlies. In fact they are now having the same kind of problems I should have had. Forfar loses 6-0 to Fulham, and there is worry in Labchimp's voice.

Now comes my moment. In a quiet way, I change my friendlies calendar, cancel with Middlesborough and arrange a match against Edimborough University, the most pathetic team I find. If I could, I'd play against a girls team. I want my strikers to taste blood before the league comes.

As I don't say anything, no one realizes I have changed my calendar. They'll see it pretty soon.

While the match comes, I try to regroup my transfer situation. I establish my priorities and decide that, after the match against Nottingham Forest, I am going to "freeze" the team and start developing tactics.

At the moment, it seems the left is my strongest vector of attack, with my two young loans playing there.

However, some coaches try to react to the other team's tactics, and they could try to close the left. I am convinced they'll try to do just that, specially if they see me playing all the time on the left before in the previous match.

My priority now is to have a good alternative tactic that I can use as smoke before playing this particualr "Big Brother" coach. I need good players to have a second tactic...

I start looking for a MR and the most important player in the game if I find him, an AMC.

Also, I fine tune my training schedules and prepare positional schedules so the players specialize. Inmediately, my strikers forget how to defend...

Before the match comes, I start to prepare the move of my coaches to assistant managers so I can hire two real coaches. In order for this to work and be worth it, there needs to be good coaches available. At the moment, it does not seem so.
And so, Edimborough University arrives, with the rest of the students tagging along and ready to drink all the beer in Glasgow at the friendly match against a smallish team of friendly amateurs.
I promptly proceed to place everyone in attacking positions, tell them there's no pressure and I release the dogs.
After the 90 minutes are over, Queen's Park wins 4-0 what should have been a 8-0, my good striker has tasted blood and discovered he likes it.
Morale is superb, Montrose has lost 7-0 against Aston Villa and I think I'm winning the preseason.
However nothing has been done yet. There is still one barrier to jump, Nottingham Forest, a team from the ultra evil British Premier League. My last defensive match of the preseason.
After that, it's all offense and tactical development and my second smoke screen will be lifted. Will they realize?
After Notthinham Forest leaves Hampden Park and my last defensive home match is over, I am going to relay the pitch, making it the biggest in the league, specially the widest.
When at home, Queen's Park will attack from far, far away.
We are coming from the wings.
