Another six changes, more lack of cohesion, and the less said about the first half the better. But we upped the tempo, brought on the subs, and it was comfortable in the end. Good for Akpom to get off the mark, even if it was a very-close-to-offside tap-in my mum could’ve got. McKenna, like a skilled surgeon, knows what he’s doing. Pass the scalpel, let's dissect this one.

Patience For The Patients

The love of my life
has had major surgery 
and is still getting back up to speed. 
A little patience is needed in these oft’ trying times,
for time is healing and should always be heeded.

And so has my girlfriend. 

She went to Hell and back
with a terrible cyst.
Ipswich we went to Hull and back;
no first half assists.

When things seem a mess, trust the process.
The patients will tend to then mend.
This poem couldn’t find
a rhythm or rhyme
but like Town
it came good in the end.
