Leeds Are Going Up?

Rode our luck
But that tune is stuck

In my head
Long after I've gone to bed

Leeds are going up an na naaa
We've come so far

This squad has been stretched
Some team selections perplexed

Yet job done
Game won

Showed no fear
This could be our year

Fortress Elland Road once more
The mighty roar

Of an expectant crowd
Every player did us proud

Pontus is a cult favourite
On the bench chomping at the bit

Cooper not so lauded
Yet he too should be applauded

Garry sticks to his guns
Love the guy tonnes

A manager in which we trust
A long term contract is a must

Chris Woods has battered down the door
Of doubts and derision saying he's poor

Doukara involved for the penalty
Clear to see

Every single man
Is a fan

Of what we are trying to do
On and off pitch they bleed white yellow and blue

Refreshing to see
Positivity

Still a few speed bumps to hit
But the crowd will do their bit

Keep marching on together
The promotion train's hell for leather

Hurtling down the track
Passion we don't lack

Keep the faith all
What a night of football

Meh!

A point at home against Brighton may seem more palatable than today but they may come at us more  and that may suit Leeds. Ultimately if you stop Woody and choke our crossing chance that stops us, Sacko looked good at times but pretty football doesn't always pay. The ref was annoying, particularly in the second half but we just weren't good enough. Not a classic and a bit frustrating but nice not to be freezing cold and a point is a point. Seen us play a lot worse but had no plan B, QPR sussed us every time we got forward , both keepers barely tested barring a couple of good saves from Green.

Not great
Second rate

Seen worse
Yet we seem averse

To getting down to basics
Sacko and his tricks

Woody cut adrift
Midfield needed some lift

Choker
Like a rubbish game of poker

All too often Leeds showed their hand
We must understand

Sometimes you have to win ugly
The skills may be lovely

Yet QPR were made to look alright
Try as we might

This was dour
We toiled for over an hour

Tactically not quite right
Yet the playoffs within sight

A point gained
At the whistle hope remained

As results largely went for Leeds
For all our misdeeds

Ayling's yellow card
Makes next few games hard

Pass and move
Is Monk's kind of groove

Though today we needed a plan B
It just wasn't to be

Pleasantries from Holloway post match
Can't disguise that if we are to catch

The leaders of the pack
We need to radically change tack

Questions
Tensions

Running commentary behind
Criticisms outlined

Let's not be bitter
Obsess on Twitter

Things are alright
Hold on tight

We'll be there or thereabouts
No doubts

Late Pain But A Point's Gained

A couple of  notable absentees

We weren't pulling up trees

Thanks for the own goal

Didn't need a begging bowl

But anyway 

We didn't do too badly today

Fulham will be in the playoff mix

Full of tricks

Everything but the kitchen sink thrown

Let it be known

At times we rode our luck

But the steely big parked truck

Of our defence

Was pretty immense 

Creativity lacking

Maybe we could've been laughing 

With a bit more luck on our side 

Yet Fulham were not to be denied

Of a fair point shared 

We came prepared 

Thinking a point would be good 

Yet in the event 3pts we should

Have grabbed 

Felt like I'd been stabbed

With that cruel blow

A cracking strike though

Still questions remain 

Though you'd be insane

Not to fancy us for playoff

Cough cough 

Bring on QPR 

Please be 3pts - ta!! 

Dare We Believe?

Dare we believe?
That we can achieve
The dream
With this team
Of going back to the Prem
With these men
At times we're lacking
Nerve wracking
But the spirit is alive
We have drive
Desire
From manager to player there is a fire
Inconsistent
Persistent
Old habits stick
Though I nitpick
We mostly get the job done
We won
End of debate
First half not great
Second half we put it to bed
What more to be said?
Never mind looking over the shoulder
Let's be bolder
March on with belief
No more grief
About the past
Let's build a team to last
Tough tests ahead
Though wins like us stand us in good stead
In Garry Monk we trust
Another 3pts Tuesday AND Saturday a must

Clipping Wednesday's Wings

Marching On Together the crowd sings
For Wednesday that defeat stings
Victory was hard fought
Their defence was caught
Ref was on their payroll
Played a frustrating role
In trying to thwart the progress
Much to the home side's distress
Justice with Green's save
We rode the wave
Of second half nerve biters
Not a classic
But I shan't nitpick
A win is all
Leeds fans can walk tall
Further towards the dream
Not a convincing team
More work to do
For the men in white yellow and blue
But Wood is cooking on gas
Garry Monk continues to ooze class
Sign him up Massimo
Up the football league we go
