A step in the right direction.

A battling point and a clean sheet thanks mainly to a one legged Luke McCormick who made two world class saves late in the game.
Just minutes before those saves McCormick was badly injured and with all three subs already used he had to stay on the pitch and thank God he did.

We still lacked composure in front of goal and Bury are the same as us, they created good chances but couldn't score.
This point was built on a good defensive performance with Bradley back to his best.

The game was a struggle for two struggling teams and short of any entertainment with most of our good attacking play coming in the first half.

We missed some good chances - Ness fired over when he should have hit the target, Grant tried to be precise instead of just hitting the damn thing, Ainsworth was through on goal but didn't trust his left foot, by the time he switched feet he was closed down and might have even won a penalty, Ciftci tried for the top corner and was saved and Sarcevic had a chance to shoot but declined and instead tried to pass.

The second half lacked any kind of excitement apart from McCormick's saves.
Fletcher replaced Ciftci and we lost momentum, the ball didn't stick up front.

Bury missed several good opportunities and also hit the post.

Sarcevic has made a big difference, Ainsworth was poor and should have been subbed much earlier .
Ciftci put in a good shift against two huge centre-backs.

The defence was rock solid.

We still need a goal scorer but we've known that for months.

You couldn't fault the players for effort.

Man of the Match McCormick.

A well earned point, heart in mouth stuff at the end but held on. Bury are debatably worse than us at finish, there number 7 was causing problems all game. Good defensively without Edwards, songo puts in 100% some great blocks. Ciftci looked good with some intelligent passes. Ainsworth awful shouldn't be starting, fletcher was very poor as was lamerias. As soon they were on the pitch we had nothing going forward and put us right against it. Grant had an awful game aswell. Ness needs to be more composed on the ball, fox usual reliable self, all the defence and McCormick can hold their heads up. We look so light up front never looked like scoring, sarcevic makes a big difference to us as a team and has been missed.

Hopefully, the turning point of our season will be that superb save from McCormick and a holding nothing back block from Gary Miller.

McCormick and the back four stood out. With a further encouraging performance from Jamie Ness. Sarcevic added something too the midfield also, personally underrated.

I thought when Songo was moved to midfield on Tuesday against Blackpool the midfield look good.

Dare I say it, but Fox and Ness are good players but require a more physical presence like Songo / Sarcevic to get the best out of their particular qualities.

Good point. Something to build on for next Saturday.

If that was sharp up front I'd hate to see what we'd be like if we weren't sharp. Never looked like scoring, we were only comfortable at the back because they were as bad as us. Gutless, weak, dull performance. Onwards

Didn't go but heard we were sharp up front and comfortable at the back. Is that right??

Well the stats seem to back that up with a blistering 2 shots on target. Bury had 9

Sounded like our new guy at the back, A Post did alright too

They hit the post once, we hit the bar once vs MK Dons. What’s your point?

The key difference was that our guy Post was happy with their intervention in the game whereas the MK Don one, Bar, was cross.

A point away. A clean sheet and no red cards.

2 great saved by Luke saw us home with a draw. Both teams struggling for form and low on confidence.

Will post more tomorrow. Hear the M5 shut in Gloucestershire so good luck to those heading to SW.

You have offered the framework for a good joke.
