After the Lord Mayor´s Show
This banana skin looms round the corner,
Going from a high to a low
Let´s hope A. Neil won´t be a mourner

It wouldn´t be the first time this year
That a good run is suddenly halted,
By an opponent we ought not to fear
Or one that is less than exalted

We know this league has no weak teams
Only some who´re just not quite as strong
As others, but they all have their dreams
And Burton will want to prolong...

..their life in this league number two
For more than just one single season,
And surely what ever we do
We mustn´t give them any reason...

..to believe that they can do just that
And away, the three points are needed,
Where often we do just fall flat
As lessons learned aren´t always heeded

We thought against Wigan, we´d do
One more who´re fighting for their lives,
And had to settle for two-two
After battling like frenzied fishwives

So this won´t be an easy day
Especially after our midweeker,
Burton didn´t have one to play
Which might leave them keener and sleeker

But donning my positive peaked cap
Despite injuries building up,
Remembering the Wigan mishap
Three points ought to fill up our cup.
 
Spot on as usual sir. The old chestnut, "there are no easy games in this division" rears its ugly head once more!

I'm hopeful our new-found fighting spirit will work for us again!
