Stockport 0-1 Town Sun 16th Apr 2000 23:41
Town came to within one point of Manchester City in second after a not entirley convincing victory over Stockport County. Town lined up with John McGreal returning from injury, but the centre-half lasted just 14 minutes before being replaced with Fabian Wilnis, himself substituted with injury late on when he was replaced by Mick Stockwell. Martijn Reuser made his first start for Town on the left of a three man midfield as Town returned to 5-3-2. Like McGreal this didn't last the whole of the first half with 4-4-2 being used in the latter stages and throughout the second. Gary Croft started at right wing back, but moved to left back as Wilnis moved to right back. Jamie Clapham moved to the left of midfield, while the ineffective Reuser moved to the right wing. Town once again lined up without Marcus Stewart, a recurrence of his previous injury was apparently cited on this occasion.

Clegg Returns Mon 13th Mar 2000 15:26
Loanee Michael Clegg has returned to Manchester United after his month's loan with Town. The full back had an unimpressive time with Town and any further move for him from George Burley looks unlikely.

Wolves 2-1 Town Sun 12th Mar 2000 23:39
Town fell to their second defeat in three games at Molineux, but can think themselves very unfortunate not to have gained at least a point. An early goal in each half from Harvard Flo gave Wolves a two goal lead and Town could only respond with A James Scowcroft header towards the end. A controversial decision in the closing stages saw Town have a blatant penalty denied.

Scowy Very Doubtful Fri 10th Mar 2000 13:41
Town's man of the season so far, James Scowcroft is rated as very doubtful for tomorrow's game at Wolves. The other man missing from Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Blackburn, John McGreal stands a good chance of being fit, although George Burley may stick with Manu Thetis who had an impressive time against the Ewood Park side. Thetis and Fabian Wilnis were singled out for special praise by George Burley and both will be looking for starts at Molineux. Pressuring Wilnis will be Gary Croft who has now recovered from his gashed knee. Also nearing the first team is Mark Venus who came through the reserve game in the week, but is not considered fit enough to start tomorrow. Other centre-half injury problem Titus Bramble has also resumed training, although he is a long way from being fit for first team consideration. George Burley has told Marcus Stewart to be more selfish and to drop deep less. After two goals in his first two games Stewart has failed to find the net in his next three. Probable squad: R Wright, Branagan, Wilnis, Clegg, Clapham, Croft, Stockwell, Mowbray, Brown

Burley for Celtic Job? Thu 10th Feb 2000 13:48
George Burley is emerging as a target for the now vacant manager's job at Cletic. The Scottish giants, umbled so dramatically by Inverness Caledonian on Tuesday night, are holding a press conference this afternoon to announce John Barnes's departure. It is also reported that Alan Brazil has said that Burley is the man for the job. With George Burley refuting every suggestion af a movce by any of his playes it will be interesting to see how long it takes the Town chief to distance himself from a move.
