At any other stage Graham Potter might have been twiddling his thumbs. If he was still sat in a presumably nice sofa in his Hove house over the international break as Brighton boss then he could be tucking into a box of Celebrations and catching up on old episodes of Luther.
The chances are that over this international break there was no time to even sit, let alone look at the sofa or unwrap Luther. Potter's 23-day blitz at Chelsea has had a grand total of one match, his next 23 will watch his new team play eight times. Former club Brighton have just nine matches until the winter World Cup takes over.
If Potter had been in charge for a while then maybe he could have planned some time with his family over the break, time to regroup ahead of the most manic period of football that football has seen since, probably only last year, but still.
