    Believe Cherry did it against Chesterfield away in an evening cup game. Arrived 10 minutes late as he never travelled on the team coach saw the team playing and under the cosh and made immediate changes and we won the game I believe

    Here you are mate :

    listen 2:30 minutes into the video : I knew Odusinas from my Hartlepool days one thing he has was top recovery pace, but phyisicalicly with Wotton backing into
    him we thought that would be an avenue where we could play more direct.

    I was and am firmly anti-both of those. Wouldn't enjoy it in the slightest if we went up with evans in charge. mainly because hes a fat tax evading abusive prick. if you want a fat tax evading abusive prick in charge because he gets results, i think that shows you up more than anything.

    And yet many of those who were pro-Evans were anti-Wellens, and guess who will overtake Stevenage by winning their game in hand?

    That's right... Richie's Leyton Orient!

    But as every adult football fan knows (unlike you), the table after 12-13 games doesn't make a jot of difference, so back in your box.

    We saw what happened when Stevenage played a good side (us), they got walloped 3-0.

    Have Stevenage paid Leyton Orient? No.
    Have they played Northampton? No.
    Have they played Salford? Yes, once, and they lost.
    Have they played Mansfield? No.
    Have they played Bradford? Yes, once, and they got hammered.

    Tell me again about this awesome Steve Evans' managed Stevenage side!

    for a start there top and what’s to say they will drop points to every team you’ve mentioned???

    I cannot stand the prick but to get Stevenage on that many points already is one hell of a job considering there where probably one of the favourites for the drop

    As you say in the bottom 4 at the finish of last season, like him or loathe Evans he's doing a good job at Stevenage although it's early day the 3 - 0 score line did not give a true reflection of the game when Stevenage came to Valley Parade the other week.

    Totally agree with that.

    I too couldn't take to Evans even If he was manager and got us promoted. It would be hypocrisy at its worst from me if I lauded him at a promotion celebration.

    I still think Stevenage will soon start to falter and drop out of the top 3, possibly secure a playoff place at the end of the season.

    Wouldn't it be great to beat him in the play off final.

    See, we can agree sometime YungNath!

    I'm predicting they'll lose points to most decent sides, and that they won't finish top three.

    Might make the play offs, might not.

    Has he done a good job? Yeah. Is it relevant to Bradford City? Absolutely not.

    The score line flattered us that day ............ I cannot stand the man but my god what I wouldn’t give for a manager like him who will grab the bull by the horns and actually go for it .......... his style of football isn’t the best but that same style helped us get out of this mess and got us to the brink of the championship

    Yes as @Idlebantam@Idlebantam says above I would be a hypocrite if I said I'd like him at Valley Parade I'm happy with Sparkie but without a doubt he's getting results, I honestly believe going long and getting the ball into the oppositions box playing the % game can be successful in this league, not pleasing on the eye but if it gets you out of this league sometimes needs must.

    Kenny Jackett did against us when manager of Wolves. Morais had put us in front early and we we battering them. He changed it after about 15 mins and we lost.

    How do we know he will?

    He's already bemoaning a paper thin squad, a good start does not a promotion make.

    Only a couple of weeks ago I'm sure there were people who added Leyton Orient to every acca.
