A happy football new year this might be If our form recently can continue, Scoring and winning, losing only few That really is promotion pedigree, And if we can avoid losing our way As we did earlier in Adams´ reign, I can´t see that too many should complain If any reward we pick up in May Agreed, against Reading away we failed And disappointing after Millwall, too, But if in Jan we can pick up anew The gap to sixth can easily be scaled, And then the task is on to reach the top And with half the season still yet to go, There´s time for many twists and turns to show Before, in May, the whole show has to stop This league has been quite educational For fans especially, but players also, Just when we think the pedal´s down to go We do something quite unsensational, So time to turn those one points into three And cut out those where we risk taking none, For too many of those have spoilt our fun And made it hard for us to climb the tree For me, Adams still has a lot to learn Naive enthusiasm´s very well, But there are times when only nous will tell If fortunes really are going to turn, One other factor, this transfer window Could be a nasty acquaintance this year, If any of the rumours that we hear Materialise, and we let any go But if we can retain our playing core And Adams, for his part, keeps learning too, When May comes there´s no reason we can´t do Promotion, even if by the back door, But too many flops, and I´m sure we know Just how tough this league will still prove to be, But in twenty-fifteen I´d love to see The PL Anglian Derby on show.
