“It is a fully completely different scenario, as a result of no person, virtually no person, comes again [this season].

“It isn’t an issue, you simply cannot evaluate it. You must discover options and it does not cease. You modify once more, change once more and alter once more.

“And it’s a must to change – issues do not work. You may’t say ‘come on, let it’s’, or no matter, let’s work on it.

“Nevertheless it’s not that simple, as in case you had been in a scenario like this seven or eight years in the past and now you simply check out the e book you wrote all of your notes in and take a look at ‘oh yeah, that is what we are able to do’ .
