Grud
I'm going out on a limb for a 2-1 win to us
They've got too many suspensions to field their best side, so I hope my prediction is good

I'm sure there'll be no complacency despite Bury's awful run...it's another derby match, the Wanderers have lost 1 and won 1, so perhaps a draw is on the cards tomorrow! Currently the team is playing to a system that is difficult to score against, but capable of creating chances and taking enough of them to win...I'll be more than happy to see them continue in a similar vein at Gigg Lane and come away with at least a point, but do think a win is eminently achievable given the evidence of the last 3 games.

In all honesty I see no reason why we shouldn't win this one comfortably. I've been surprised how poor the quality in this league is and whilst I'm not kidding myself that we're anything like a good side, I do think we're better than all but a few teams in here. With Zach back and Ameobi getting better with every game the team is now beginning to look like a team as the players get used to each other. I'm going for a 0-2 to us tonight but then of course it is Bury and we have a history of mishaps with them over the years. As others have said, this is their big game, not just for this season but generally as we don't play them very often. Hopefully this will be the last time again for many more seasons but let's face it their fans will be more excited than ours so hopefully there will be a cracking atmosphere despite the relatively small number. Can't get there tonight but I have taken Sky just for this game so hopefully it will be money well spent???

The way Bury buckled to Wimbledon on 2 set pieces last week, there's more chance of the tax man winding them up before they get another victory defending like that!!
We just need to take advantage, especially from corners/free kicks etc

I'm told that they have sold 4200 and we 3200
So 7400 for a ground that should be able to carry 11000
For a club with massive money worries, I think they missed a trick to make a few more quid
Mind you, they'll have the SKY cash I suppose

Another good performance. Based on a rock solid defensive display with good breaking.
Not fabulously entertaining but it's an away win.
A bit lucky with the first pen but we could have had other goals (Proctor).
Well done

I thought from afar that this was a solid performance and tactically very astute.Bury were obliged to play to our strengths. Clough and Ameobi are getting fitter. They gave us some flair going forward but were excellent defensively. Vela is becoming an excellent presser. TV commentators were impressed by Madine. He battled but to me looks cumbersome. Proctor missed a shocker. I thought the penalties were correct. Wilson had one moment of diving in Wheater and Beevers were commanding. Unsung perhaps but I thought Andrew Taylor was outstanding against the dangerous Ismail and would perhaps have been my MoM if present in that the defence won the match for me.
A banana skin avoided and a relatively comfortable success . Onward and upward.

I agree about Taylor too who was superb against a very dangerous opponent. Less said about Madine as usual but oh that Miss of Proctor's, he should have at least had it on target. The attack is my only concern as once again we haven't scored a goal from open play and also missed good chances when they came. Let's hope Zach stays fit and the defence keep playing as they are. |

Arrived back somewhat later than anticipated having joined 3,000 plus in a time machine that transported us back to the 80s and the days (and nights) of being penned in for 15/20 minutes after the game...a couple of friends that I travelled with , who hadn't been to an away game since halcyon days, were somewhat shocked at the 2 hours plus of obscenities aimed at the Bury fans and players...the delights of a local derby! As to the match I agree with the comment thus far, although I did feel that for all his faults Madine worked really hard tonight and perhaps made it easier for Clough and Ameobi to flourish. P.P. has hit upon a system that is working for the players at his disposal, Taylor is growing in stature and Wilson was good apart from one of his usual indiscretions. Wheater and Beevers excellent again, Derik patrolled effectively, and Vela and Spearing continue to work really well in tandem. I thought Henry did well when he came on, Procter works his socks off but cannot score. Howard had an untroubled night...well done Wanderers!!

Great result and another clean sheet which we deserve. Beavers was immense and Taylor looked ok. Moxey I say gives us more from crossing and the throw but Taylor defends well. Wilson, no danger tonight but think he's playing way above his stations.
It is a great result but it's far from perfect. For the first half we booted the ball aimlessly to thier keeper or for a goal kick.
Lots of positives but we really need a proper striker. I've been a supporter of Gary Madine but I don't think the guy has any instinct for goal.

Same style of play as at Millwall but an improvement probably helped by my enjoying this one sat in front of the TV with a beer...
I was also interested that the Sky pundits were singing Madine's praises. It seems that his role is not to score goals but battle with the centre halves. We don't get into our opponent's penalty box frequently enough for him to get on the end of anything too much and that was maybe the problem with taking on Odemwingie as he would have quickly got frustrated by the lack of service.
There's no doubt that we are getting very, very hard to beat especially if we have an early goal to sit on. A third of the season gone and we have only conceded more than one goal in one match. I can see Div 1 managers scratching their heads and wondering how we can be beaten. Tricky, pacy forwards will always get in behind Beevers and Wheater but fortunately there aren't too many of them at this level.
I guess we should be prepared for more of the same and then what the January sales bring

We need support up top for Clough. His goals won't be enough to carry us over the line on his own and Madine/Proctor, workmanlike as they are, will never be weighing in with enough. Those two kids at Grimsby and Barnet look decent atnd could compete at League 1 level (Bogle and Akins) might be worth throwing a bid in for one of them in January!! Interesting how the Bury fans on Facebook have seen last nights result, goading is saying that but for penalties we'd have lost?  I'm sort, but for penalties we'd have drawn 0-0 cos Bury were no threat whatsoever. Danns getting subbed against his former side has to rank as a low point in his career 🙄 |

How would we have lost? Best chance fell to Proctor and Clough. Ameobi probably has the next best chance with his shot and again Clough had a decent effort turned wide.
I can't help but look at Proctor and think "Sunday League"

Very dissappointed with the abuse given to Danns from Bolton Fans,,,not the best player to don a Bolton shirt but always gave 100% effort and passion !
