It was Jones' Wolves who imploded in 01/02
and who we beat in the PO Semi.
So a bit of a sliding doors moment right there!
From Dec 2000 to Fulham 2004 we were on a Worthy/Munby-led upwards trajectory, and not reaching Cardiff is quite possible.
Regarding players, would an incoming manager [Jones] have stuck with the flops of the Hamilton era? McVeigh was clearly a Worthy-player, and how much were the signings of Holt and Drury led by Worthington?
