I always liked Tony Thorpe and could do with him now.

"blue eyed boy gallen" also scored a lot of goals to help us win promotion, including one at at Hillsborough and also scored a fair few in the Championship alongside Furs.

true,but thorpe was in the side and scoring;if its not broke dont fix it

thorpe never delivered in the ccc - had chances was loaned out and failed there too

No, Thorpe was taken out by Repka at West Ham quite early in our first season back in the CCC and never got over the seriousness of the injury. He was only loaned out when trying to get full fitness again, but, thanks to the animal Repka, never really achieved it. He moved to a lower league and then suffered a serious eye injury which did for him.
It's also worth noting that many of Gallen's goals came when the front pair was him and Thorpe, at times when Furs was injured or suspended -- mainly because Thorpe's positional play was very good and he drew defrenders away from Gallen very effectively, which gave the ageing and slowing-up Gallen the time and space he needed to succeed.

Thought he was very underrated by many of our fans (who don't seem to understand the importance of what you do off-the-ball).

i think there will be a shuffle in the squad numbers as we have players like vine, pellicori, legiertwood, hall etc.. who are lower down the number but i dont expect to be first team regulars.

Would not be suprised if Hall partnered Gorkks at CB myself.

Hopefully Connolly/Gorkks is our starting CB's though.
