Another loss suffered by Stockholm Wolves today, making a 100% failure on my part as a coach to date. I can still console myself with excuses of n00bness, which are nonetheless valid.

I have downloaded a free statistical analysis program that give more figures about my team than an accountant sees in a decade. Hattrick Control has shown me that my first match player positions were completely ridiculous, so, with this newfound information (and let us not forget, information is power), I hope to avoid too many more 5-0 losses this season.

I am, as the hints and tips page of Hattrick suggested, holding back on spending out too much money on players. The last thing I want to do is suffer bankruptcy within a month of receiving my account. I look forward with trepidation to my next (mid-week) match, a friendly against Kristoffer, the sports-teacher at my school that turned me on to the game.
