*Power cut causes managerial blackout - league record damaged*
There was a power cut today (again, not unusual in Turkey) and I couldn't get online. I'd already set my team up for the cup 1/4 final second leg but there was nothing I could do to prepare for the league match afterwards.
I won the cup match to book a place in the cup semis, but fatigue took its toll and an hour later with no subs used or changes in line-up, I suffered the first league defeat this season to finish the day in 2nd place, 1 point behind the new leader.
Now the challenge is really set - regain 1st place and get to that cup final. Challenge = accepted!
