Anyone know?

As has been posted; 2003-04 5-0 v Notts Co and 4-1 v Swansea. Going back a little further;

There was very little transfer activity in the summer of 2001, but Mike Stowell was signed from Wolves as a goal keeping coach. When the season began, he was preferred in goal ahead of Billy Mercer and Steve Phillips. Another surprise was Kevin Amankwaah replacing Scott Murray in midfield. Steve Jones and Tommy Doherty had returned from long term injury and Jones was paired with Tony Thorpe for the opening fixture of 2001/02 at Northampton who had Keith Welch in goal and old adversary Marco Gabbiadini playing up front. Thorpe scored a hat trick in the first 26 minutes of the season and City won 3-0. Jones had hit a post and was on target in the next game, a 3-1 win over Swindon. Cheltenham were then beaten 2-1 in the League Cup and that score line was repeated at Wigan in the league to give City their best start to a season since 1927.
