Today

[rbf]

Everything points to an easy home win

With our players hitting top form,

Grabban and Jerome taking turns to score

And taking the league by storm

With Howson and Hooper too, leading the pack

Of those clamouring to get in,

The game today against the lowly Brum

Ought not to get us in a spin

But better teams than us time and again

Have fallen into the same trap,

When going well against those who are not

Complacency can close the gap

That really mustn´t happen here today

And spoil what has been a great week,

Adams, so far, has kept them to the wheel

Focussed, so they play near their peak

And if he can get that message across

Then today´s game should be a breeze,

So that even Lee Clark, who won´t want to lose

Might want to call time early, please

Banana skins will occasionally fall

In front of our path this year too,

I feared that Brentford could have been that sort

But we steered clear of that, thank you

So one more of the same, fully controlled

Would be the order from the Doc,

And send a clear signal to other teams

´Beware the new kid on the block´. OTBC

Today's a day we will not flop,

We're a runaway train that will not stop,

Birmingham are for the chop

And we'll end the day back on the top.

That floats on high o'er clouds and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host of yellow window-sills."

With apologies to William Wordsworth.

Despite the daft last line (you try and find a word rhyming with hills and connected with City.) I still feel that's more Lake District poetry than your effort LDC.

And we'll end the day back on the top.

Everything points to that, yes, I agree

But foes will accept a point happily,

And if they come with that tactic in mind

We know just how hard goals can be to find,

But with the wind in our sails, it should pay

If we can reproduce our recent play.

Well perhaps not too many signs of complacency, but Wes certainly, should have stayed in bed, and though it´s 1 pt saved, it´s still 2 pts lost - don´t want to start doing that too many times, especially at home.

How nice to see RBF -good verse and valued opinion- 

Slightly let down by yesterday -but should not be- just expectation now high- -how great-! pleased we did not lose- sure Adams will sort out team- Wes -I love-but yesterday !!

There´s no doubt he´s an infuriating fella

But, when on form, Wes is the greatest yella,

But we must play him where he works the best

In 4-4-2 he´s not up to the test,

I  prefer how Adams started this year

Playing 4-2-3-1 both far and near,

That way we see the best of Hoolahan

Irish imp, and sometimes magical man.
