Thorpe had as much goal threat as McKeown, but we really missed him when he left. Jevons hit a poor spell without his presence (finished the season  with 1 goal in 12 or 13 and that was a pen)

Yeah, our record with Thorpe in the side was pretty good. As soon as he left, Jevons stopped scoring and we slipped into the bottom four at exactly the wrong time.

Jevons was in the wilderness before he came back into the fold that season. I remember him crediting Graham Rodger a lot and it's no coincidence that his best form was when Rodger was caretaker manager.

I know he didn't make a good fist of it as manager a few years later but things might have been different had he been made Groves' successor instead of that abomination Nicky Law (who, funnily enough, now heads youth recruitment at Burnley).

Jevons' downturn in form also came exactly when Nicky Law took over...

Odd that.

All I remember about Nicky Law is walking down the tunnel as soon as the referee blew his whistle at the end of that fateful game at Tranmere with no acknowledgment to the fans.

The twit.

Back to the Bradford game.

Last night it was posted on their forum that they had sold 1400 and had around 400 tickets left.

Wasn't there a TV clip of him on his texting on his phone from the touchline during the game?  I remember hearing talk of agents in the dressing room at half-time too.

It's a toss up between that side under Law (once he'd brought all his mercenary mates in to supplement the existing egos in the dressing room) and the side that Mike Newell left us with for the biggest shower of shite I've ever seen in a Town shirt.

Worse than Mike Lyons that's saying something.

Don't know if it's my memory going but didn't Lyons play himself up front at times, probably when we had to chase goals.
