A Defender’s D:Ream: "Things Can Only Get Better"

They can score 4 goals

Have a Firsts player too

Running rings around me

No, I’m doing just fine… No, I have nothing to prove

 

But maybe…

Joe ain’t never gonna feel this way

First goal from disarray

Second, from a free hit that flew

 

My stick, I’ll swing it hard from now…

 

Things… 

can only get better

I’ll take off my joggy fetter

A tan on my pale legs is due…

 

A Chance! Snipered into the D

Alas, Straight into John’s knee

An unconvincing dive, awarded a Bully –

My aim needs to be more true

 

But, things… 

Can only get better

Another CF? Another go-getter!

Alas, Rob is robbed half way through…

 

Could this be three?
No! Sean longshots out to Greavesey

A ricochet into their D!

Damn; Missed; Nick heroically dives into the blue…

 

But Things… 

can only get better

I’ll Follow Nev’s words to the letter

I know: I’ll Pass up to James Yu 


 

I… lose myself in the heat

I lose track of the line

I can’t see the ball touch my feet

She sees it; a short blown up by Lou

 

Things… 

can only get better

Always at training with your pink sweater 

Come defender, where are you Hugh?

 

A litany of fouls, 

I don’t have a clue

Neil sets them alight

I've got my personal hell to deal with – my knowledge is too weak to fight you…

 

A short against – the final whistle blew

A full team attacks – CLUNK! This half, that’s two

We hang our heads…

What else are we going to do?

 

Things… 

can only get better…

Another MoM Kieran? Or another Pass Forgetter?

…Maybe Stu will join us too…

 

I know now that I… must confront my lack of stamina and speed

Nev, you’ve shown me how, I must learn to deal… with this… disease

I look at things now, in a different light; …something more pure

…I've found the cause

I think Training can be my cure

 

So, Nev, teach me to…

Pass it wide

Keep my head up; ball in my view

Maybe I too can be a decent player

If I walk this path… If I follow this through… 

(That means me, and I mean you all too!)

 

Assassin Steed says: 

“Things… 

can only get better.”

 

Indeed, they can only get better, Nev…

 

…Now we’ve found You!
