Bury Match Thread

Starting 11 is in.

XI: McKeown (c), Hall-Johnson, Davis, Öhman, Hendrie, Ring, Clifton, Hessenthaler, Woolford, Cook, Thomas.

Subs: Russell, Collins, Dennis, Grayson, Vernam, Rose, Pollock.

The police looked like they had their hands full with idiot Bury fans on the high street about 20 minutes ago.

String em up

Not a bad start so far. Some loose passes are our downfall at the moment.

Enjoying it.
Two team that want to play football UTM

Kiss of death I know but....you wouldn't know which team  was 2nd in the table on play so far.

Pretty even and better than last week.

Pretty even and better than last week.

It would of been difficult to be a worse match then last week lets be honest. We're playing well, just that final ball like usual is keeping the scoreline at 0

We've got into some reasonable attacking positions only for the final ball to be terrible. Not overly impressed with Bury as yet (though they pass it around decently) but then neither side is really offering much of a threat.

It is very much a 5-3-2 which we're playing at present so no surprise we're not looking like scoring very often. Ring and Hendrie much too deep most of the time to add to the attack.

Much better than last week, 2 even teams. Enjoying it. Linesman on findus side is male masturbation

We’re still in the dressing room, if Jolley means business he’ll bring some pace off the bench earlier than last week.

Hopefully Vernams coming on for Wooly hes not in this half at all.

Vernam for cook what the fook is that all about???

Give pollock or rose 10 minutes of game time, least we’ll gain something out of that

Bury are stepping the pace up a bit now. Considering we have 11 men in the box we always look weak defending corners

Knew jolley read the fishy

The difference Rose has made up front.

Love that we are going for it against a team second in the league. Not happy with a draw, great mentality to have!

Just saying the same to the old man. Its nice to see both teams going for it and not just settling for a draw like you often see in moddern football.

Done well, touch wood, better performance, maybe just time to experiment a bit with the upfront lineup maybe other teams do their research, not that theyve done anything wrong just to mix it up
Dennis rose and vernam maybe

AB has referred to Akheems lack of experience twice in the last five minutes but seems clear he offers something very different with his pace. The only way he's going to get experience is to play and I'd start him for the next few games and tell him to relax and enjoy.
They're relatively meaningless games where he can just learn

If only we had a couple of goal scorers how different this season could have been

It would only an experiment because Jolley hasn't played Ahkeem or Vernam. Those two lads have got way more in their lockers than Cook and Thomas but need game time. Rose's pace and Vernam's willingness to take people on scares the shite out of defenders. Cook and Thomas offer little more than average pace, average touch, average invention and average finishing every week and League Two defences have an easy ride. There's been twenty or thirty games this season when our powder puff forward line has produced nothing and we could have been better served developing CV and AR on the pitch. I seriously can't imagine they'd have done any worse and more likely much better with the inner confidence of being picked every week. If these two lads can get you on the edge of your seat for twenty minutes, remember, if they're doing that, their defence will be panicking. Too much functional textbook and not enough mercurial talent and pace in our line ups this season for us to really make an impression going forward..

Rose and Vernam certainly changed the game when they were partnered up front, we looked a threat and like a couple of others have said maybe its time they started a couple games together or maybe brought off the bench earlier and more frequently so they have a chance to be the difference.

We only need one more point then and Mr Fenty is off (allegedly)  

I enjoyed it!

Thought we played ok today, just a lack of bite and invention up front, though didn't think we missed Embleton at all. Rose needs game time so he can learn to choose the right options, and I still think Ring is a serious weak link, got to get a better LFB/WB

Quoted from Hagrid

I enjoyed it!

I agree Hagrid. I can't agree with the guy on the radio who said we were just going through the motions today looked like we were respecting 2nd place Bury but still going for it.

One of the more entertaining 0-0 games and both teams looked to play football.

Stated last week that we got the substitutions wrong and the game was crying out for Rose.  His end product is lacking but now we are virtually safe, I would like to see him get some games under his belt.

Mayor tore us a new one in the reverse fixture and Hess ensured that wasn't going to happen today. Clifton needs a few games to get his rhythm and I thought today, that rhythm was back and he had a great game.

Ring almost cost us the game when the most obvious thing to do was hit it long. Instead, he chose a weak back pass that their striker almost intercepted.

I think he based the rose sub on the fact Bury really needed a win and went for it leaving a bare minimum back. This very nearly paid dividends good tactical battle. If they thought they were going to find us easy they got a surprise lol.

Pleasing result against high flying Bury, well done lads.
