So what of those outside the 25 squad And therefore not in PL´s plans, Where will the next stop be, will they get the nod From League 1 or Championship fans For them, Premier League, was one step too far And maybe for some, it was two, For a while there our door was left slightly ajar Now it´s closed, and I´m sure they all knew For Oli and Cody and Owain T. Jones The signs were there early enough, Unless we were down to the very bare bones They were not likely to strut their stuff McNamee flattered, but mostly to deceive And Smith never settled at all, And Hughes was just one more in that midfield weave And to break in was too hard a call For their sakes and ours let´s hope they travel on And not do as Smith S. has done, Be content to stay, and not try to be gone Just pick up his wage in the sun I did hear that Oldham were taking a look At Cody, but that´s a while back, But otherwise, no news that others have booked Their passage off on a new track But one who has gone, and good luck to him too Is Daley, down to Plymouth Hoe, And one more who might be off to pastures new For a while at least, he too we know So good luck to Jed, if he should just steer off To Yeovil, on a few months loan, It´s always a good thing for those younger profs To have time in this way, to hone... ...their skills, where there´s regularly much more at stake Than a reserve game, now and again, And for keepers especially it really can make Them grow up from lads into men So all in all things seem to be shaping up At least for those who´re here to stay, The rest need their agents to start waking up So they can soon be on their way.
