(While we´re in the mood for comparisons)
The balance seems just about right
In the twenty-five up for the fight,
Two keepers, then eight
To defend the estate
Eleven mid, and then four to bite
It´ll always be one of those things
A bit of roundabout and a few swings,
You win a bit here
And maybe lose there
When strengthening with new signings
But comparing them, if that we can
This squad with last year´s, man to man,
It seems clear to me
We´re considerably
Better equipped to fulfil our plan
I think a few weak links have gone
While some who just didn´t belong,
In the higher realm
Are now at the helm
Of new clubs after moving on
For Whitbread, Ayala and Ward
Read Bassong and Turner aboard,
That´s a plus to me
If injury-free
They stay, unlike those three´s record
And I´d say Garrido for Drury
And Whittaker, although the jury´s,
Still out on that one
Will both get a run
And blend their skills with fight and fury
But the acquisition of three
New midfielders shows Hughton C,
Has his own idea
Abundantly clear
Of where he wants our strength to be
So competition´s now red hot
In the engine room of our lot,
Which only bodes well
For the coming spell
And keeping a coveted spot
And true to form, of the four goals
Scored so far this year by our souls,
Seventy-five per cent
Of them have been sent
From those playing the midfield roles
And although I´m sure some would say
Our strike force is weaker today,
Than one year ago
I´m not sure, you know
Vaughan just never was fit to play
Which left just Wilby in the frame
Where today we have Martin and Kane,
So on balance there
I´d say we compare
At least as well, for every game. OTBC
