Reflect on the game, yes, but not give up on the season as a jolly nice ride.
I'm sick to death with "ooh didn't we do well, never mind maybe next season". I want it now.
So do I Batch. Believe me, so do I. Today though was yet another kick in the balls after years and years of kicks to the nether regions. I am an optimist by nature but that's knocked the bollocks out of me, it really has. The fact is, there are 4 teams in this division who are some distance ahead of the rest. We are the 4th best of those teams. Sadly, only 3 go up.
I'm afraid that's how I feel right now, I
have given up on the season, I admit it. Today for me was win or nothing. I don't see us getting second place and I don't see us getting past Blades or MK in the Play Offs. This is some defeated, pathetic shit I am typing right now but it's how I feel, I'm not going to lie.
My one consolation is that we
have done staggeringly well this season and I feel better about Power & Cooper than I have ever felt about any STFC Chairman/Manager combination. This team has surpassed my expectations now for two seasons in a row (however this season pans out) so maybe they can do it a third time.
Hopefully, in a few weeks I will be able to look back on this post and say, "Ha! You pathetic defeatist bastard, what do you know?" We shall see.
My boss sent me this a few weeks back when we had loads of difficult deadlines for difficult clients. Hahaah.
It's the hope that kills you. Every time.
