Have We Unearthed Some Gold?

For one so young, Mr. A. Neil
Has taken us by storm,
Already he seems the real deal
In helping us perform

He quickly diagnosed the cause
Of many of our woes,
It was apparent, early doors
He´d keep them on their toes

But still, to lead a turnaround
As noteworthy as this,
Surely can´t have failed to astound
Those ´twixt Cromer and Diss

Clear and concise is how he comes
Across, when interviewed,
Not afraid if what he says stuns
Any assembled brood

And clear and structured are his views
On how his team should play,
For any player that´s good news
As doubt is kept at bay

The new found impetus, it shows
Not only in point gains,
As energy and belief flows
Through each and all their veins

It´s clear to see that each member
Seems lifted in our crew,
But Grabban, Olsson, Whittaker
I´d say look born anew

And with Bassong now firmly in
From the cold, our back line,
Is settled and not quite as thin
One more comforting sign

Now I know that a coaching team
Is not a one-man band,
But for our milk to rise to cream
Needs a defining hand

And whereas in the early part
Of this Championship year,
We were a bit more stop and start
Now very few, I fear

So though, A Neil, it´s early days
If I may be so bold,
It doesn´t seem too much to say
We may have unearthed gold .OTBC

 

Excellent RBF as ever and I hope that you are bang on the money with your sentiments. I agree that he comes across as someone who knows what he is about and he hopes to achieve and he seems to have gained the early respect of the players which is of course vital. I speak from the outside, but I got the impression that maybe his predecessor never did quite attain that position.

 

Way up there with your best sir, you really are a talented poet and a wonderful Canary fan!

 

Very nice, RBF. Content bang on, and lovely poetic flow, if I may say so.

 

Excellent a usual RBF. See my post - http://www.not606.com/threads/alex-neil.288348/page-30#post-7621505 on the Alex Neil thread.

 

Thank you gentlemen, you´re very generous, and THURNBY, I´d say you were absolutely right with regards to his predecessor, who I´m sure was labouring with that problem for much of his tenure.

 

Yep, just for once there seems to be a decided unanimity amongst the ´not´ers, that we might have found our man
