“what did people expect with 9 men on the field. Poor discipline, one way traffic only one result.”

Errrrrrmm.. it was one way traffic from minute one, where I belive both sideas started with eleven players...
 
Bury were the most negativie side I've seen at The Lane for years. Nine men camped in their own half from the kick off.

Would have been a victory for anti football if Bury had got anything out of the game.

Why would it have been a victory for anti-football?

I cannot fault them for that.. they've just been battered, are low on confidence, going through a shocking run and playing against a team who haven't lost in 13 matches and at their ground!!.. in the past we have done that, start getting clean sheets and confidence will grow.

Thankfully for us, it didn't start last night.

Well I thought football was part of the entertainment industry, people paid to watch that and they did not even attempt to win the game.

Speaking professionally I can just about understand those tactics if they had been away at Chelsea in The Fa cup third round and were after a money spinning replay, but a Third Division League game? No, not my idea of football.

Harry they've just lost, what, their last 300 games? any team just wants to stop the rot before thinking of entertaining anyone. unlucky for them they we were next on their list and they did what they could.
 
Some wonderful comments, but this is my favourite

Bloke who looked like he was playing in skis when he was on loan to us scores a 93rd minute winner”

I can't get the mental image of EEL clattering clumsily aroud in a pair of massive skis out of my head - fucking brilliant.

Btw with that number of comments, it seems the whole away support had a view!
 
Hadn't he already booked their keeper for time wasting? He'd told them enough times even in the first half.

Yep... and as far as I could tell, the ref had a word with their captain early in the first half to tell his teammates about time-wasting. A failure of captaincy.

Entertainment is secondary to results.

Bury are fighting for survival..

I'm quite chuffed that they came and played the way they did.. shows we are doing something right and teams aren't going to have it easy at the lane, unlike under previous management.. I'm sure there will be a few more teams this seasonthat will come and play like Bury.. happy for a point, but if we nick a goal..... what team does that sound like? Oh us under the bearded ones daddy
 
Bury were a bit like watching a Rocky film.

They were constantly on the ropes getting battered and outclassed but they showed that bulldog spirit
And we struggled to find that knock out blow.

So got to give them credit for defending like warriors.
Clearly we were the better team and deserved to win.

Like Rocky v Mr T if Mr T scored a last minute winner
 
they did have 35% play and ONE shot

I think that the 35% possession must include the 15 minutes of playing time that they wasted, starting in the first 5 minutes of the first half .........

Having said that; they defended in a resolute if agricultural fashion ( similar to Shrewsbury ) but we must look at our tactics for breaking down "parking the bus" teams, at home !!

UTB & FTP

I wouldn't fault them either, they are professionals looking for something but its still anti football. We've done it, but it was still anti football when we did it. We haven't seen many do it at the lane in a few years because we've been a soft touch. Its a sign of how much better we are. Expect to see more of it
