It is being reported that Town will not be looking to take Mark Burchill on permanently when his loan deal is up at the end of the season. The Scot has rarely featured since Marcus Stewart returned from his three match suspension after his red card against Leeds.
Appropriately enough two goals at the North Stand end saw Town to victory and condemned Manchester City to Division One.

Marcus Stewart last night failed to emulate John Wark as a PFA Award winner when Teddy Sheringham carried off the prize. Stewart failed even to make the divisional XI with Thierry Henry and Sheringham the chosen strikers. Wark won the award in 1981, the last time a Town player was nominated.
Hermann Hreidarsson is to face FA action for his stagedive/crowdsurf goal celebration after Mark Burchill's goal in the game against Bradford.
