What tactics?
In a few hours time Team Gazette will take to the field in the Hasbro charity football tournament at Brunel University - and I am not too confident of their chances of bringing home any silverware to Gazette House.
Firstly they don't appear to have any great tactical awareness of how they are going to line-up later today and even more worringly they are still trying to decide who is playing in goal.
If that's not enough to give me grave concerns they have been compounded by the fact that chief reporter and midfield dynamo Chris Longhurst was at the doctor's last night having a fitness test and nippy winger David, from our advertising department, is hobbling around after sustaining a midweek injury.
It looks as though a lot will rest on the silky skills of Hayes reporter John Hughill, who has been learning the tricks of the trade by training with former Ipswich Town and Bulgarian international Bontcho Guentchev.
I was asked if I could go along and manage the team but, I politely declined. Not because I fear getting the sack after just one game in charge but because I have several important paper review meetings already planned for today.
Anyway, today's tournament is all in the name of charity and I am sure the team will do the Gazette proud on the pitch.
I will update you on Monday on how they performed - I just hope that the newsroom is not decimated due to football injuries!
