    Luke Oliver comes to mind when I see that kit, I’m sure someone will put me right if I’m mistaken

    Oliver was released in Jan that season but did make 3 starts in that shirt before hand. That was the first year back in L1 shirt, also the 1 win in 20 games season. Taylor was crocked before coming here, didn't get any better. McArdle, Davies, Oliver, Taylor, McHugh & Bates all started in defence that season.

    First season back in L1.

    Strangely, the first player I think of when seeing that kit is Rafa De Vita.

    Law is a busy player. Do you think Akpan (or, eek, Devine) can contain him?
    Apparently Pritchard and Connelly are back,so I don't think we'll be keeping the ball in the middle much anyway.

    Didn't they get annihilated in their last two away games?

    Nice article from Taylor the Exeter boss, which deserves to be read in full.

    This is the end of it, “The people there are absolutely fantastic, the supporters are unbelievable and they had just got promoted from League Two to League One when I got there, off the back of a good cup run and reaching the League Cup final the year before. It’s a shame to see them low down in terms of the leagues, but I am sure they’ll be going back up soon.

    “When they are not in our league, obviously I want them to do well. But this weekend is all about our team and our group of players and some players really standing up and being counted like they did last weekend.”     https://www.devonlive.com/sport/football/exeter-bradford-city-matt-taylor-3489855

    Exactly, Port Vale hadn't won all season away before they came here

    Outside of Grimsby away, which they lost 5-2, there was nothing in any of their away games - lots of draws, a one-goal defeat to Newport, they were odds on really for a draw - which they should have got, until we shot ourselves in the foot.

    On the other hand, as bad as Exeter's last two away results have been, they just won 4-0 at home...

    I do think that scoreline flattered Exeter, it was a derby so form goes out the window. Plus it sounded like ryan lowe undersestimated this game and suffered for it..

    I will say this season so far i have never actually seen a team out play us at home. Only time i saw was in the first round of the carabao cup who are 2nd in the championship!

    I genuinely think we will be good.

    Away win. Crab to score the winner.

    If we keep Cooke for two seasons, in League One, I GUARANTEE he is viewed similarly.

    Which shows how utterly nonsensical the hate for Law was.

    Welcome back. The negativity not lost in the 28 day hiatus! Listening to a bit of Bauhaus (Bela Lugosi is dead), so perhaps a poignant post! :eyes:

    Could be wrong the wrong Taylor but was he the one who when signed , was it quietly mentioned that he could also be goalkeeper cover due to us only having 2 GKs on the books and slight doubts over one of them at the time

    Yeah right Taylor. He started his career as a keeper playing about 5 seasons in non league as one

    Not sure about the weather in Bradford - But following a (quite) bright start to the day, it's now raining in Rotherham, and set to get heavier, by 1.00 PM. :(
    With little cloud movement, it's difficult to judge the direction it's blowing.
