The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. And so it was just ten wins in a row. That winning run came to an end at, of all places, the Kassam. A day no Town fan wants to remember for long, and the behaviour of some brought shame to both clubs. My abiding memory before I move on, is seeing fear

If there has been one area of the pitch which Di Canio has frequently lambasted it’s been the strikers.
