    Reaction: Bobby Carroll Post FC St Helens (H)

    Midfielder Bobby Carroll was disappointed with the result, in last night’s 1-1 draw with FC St Helens.


    Bobby said, “It was a tough one to take and yeah it was a disappointing result I thought we started the game okay and then we got a bit sloppy it was just very stop-start, obviously with lots of fouls here and there and the ball going out of play, so it just took us a while to get going and then we got the goal in the first half and then got to half time 1-0 up and then it went a bit downhill from there and then they got an early goal in the second half and that killed our momentum a little bit but we’ll put it right Saturday.”


    Bobby spoke about his return to the starting eleven after missing the last few games through injury.


    “It’s really good to be back, I picked up a little ankle injury in training last Thursday, but it didn’t feel too bad tonight so yeah it’s good to get the ninety in me.”


    Bobby then reflected on the opposition’s performance tonight: “I thought they played well obviously they were looking to hit us on the counter and they did that a few times and I think we got a bit lucky a few times in the second half especially as we were lobbing a few players forward to try and get the winner and that’s what can happen they can hit you on the counter and that’s what they did so credit to them they played well.”


    Carroll added, looking ahead to the weekend: “It’s really big on Saturday, and we definitely need the three points. With us dropping points tonight, it’s big we put it right on Saturday and get the three points. And yeah, we’ve got a run of home games coming up to Christmas, so it’ll be good to get all the fans in the stadium to get behind the lads, and hopefully we keep kicking on.”

    Reaction: Patrick Jarrett post FC St Helens (H)

    After signing for the club in mid-October midfielder Patrick Jarrett spoke to club media for the first time following the FC St Helens fixture last night.

    Jarrett reflects on what attracted him to join a club like Bury. “It’s a big team at this level and they aspire to get back into the football league and the fanbase is good here and obviously the coaches and backroom staff is brilliant and there’s a really clear vision of where we want to go.”

    Patrick than spoke about what it has been like bedding in with his new teammates.

    “It’s a massively talented squad and there are players in here who could go on to have a real career and there’s also a lot of experience and talent, the boys have been fantastic and made me feel welcome from the get-go.

    “I’ve had a long time out with injury I haven’t kicked a ball in 10 months before coming here so it’s been a bit of an adjustment and that’s been kind of difficult but Daves been brilliant with me and the first game I played was with the U23s which was nice just to get a feel for it and to get back on the pitch but the lads have been brilliant.”

    He then reflected on the 1-1 draw with St Helens “I have never seen a football game where we have had about four off the line and that is something we need to work on and we’ve said it before but these are the types of games where we need to be clinical and we need to put teams to the sword because we play some good stuff and we get in good areas and it’s just that final bit but it is the toughest part but if we tidied up that bit and put teams to the sword we could’ve had five or six today.”

    Patrick than gave his thoughts on the fans since joining the club.

    Patrick Jarrett: ”Amazing to be fair I came to watch the FA Cup game at Radcliffe and I couldn’t believe the away support everywhere it was all Bury supporters and it’s the same home or away it’s been fantastic and it’s amazing the support the boys have and it’s about going out and performing for them because they spend their money to go to the games and it’s about putting on a show for them obviously tonight it was a bit sad we didn’t get five or six but who’s to say we won’t do that next game.”

    Jarrett looked ahead to Saturday’s trip to AFC Liverpool.

    “100% I think we’d be stupid to not go into every game thinking we’d win because that’s the talent we have with this squad and that’s the aspirations we’ve got and set and it’s a clear vision we have we should be going into every game and looking to pick up 3 points and Saturday’s no different so hopefully we put on a good show.”

    Reaction: Chris Watts post FC St Helens (H)

    Bury extended their unbeaten run to eighteen games in the league after a 1-1 draw with FC St Helens at Gigg Lane after DJ Pedro first-half goal was cancelled out by the visitors early into the second half.


    “Very disappointing” was First Team Analyst Chris Watts reflection of the game.


    “Look we had plenty of chances at least in the first half, where we should’ve gone in a couple of goals ahead and we still weren’t happy with the performance at half time. I thought we were sloppy and moved the ball slowly and I think when we do that we’re just letting sides come and sit and gives them something to try and cling on to and it’s what’s happened today and at the end, they almost won it which would’ve been unthinkable really like on the balance of the game but overall we’ve had some chances but I think we were poor.”


    Bobby Carroll and Bebeto Gomes returned to the side following the injuries to both Josh Gregory and Sam Coughlan against Pilkington Watts reflected on their performances.


    “I thought Bebeto [Gomes] was really good today and Bobby [Carroll] was really good as well they both tried to get us going and Bebeto was a constant threat up and down the right-hand side with Rusty [Stepans] and we’re pleased to have them back, obviously we needed them because we’re quite light in some areas at the minute after the weekend and some good minutes for them tonight hopefully they’re good to go on Saturday.”


    DJ Pedro scored again, making it two in two, adding to the importance of having a goal scorer on the team.


    “We’ve had discussions about that because out of the whole front line, it’s been Rusty who’s been carrying us a little bit so we’ve needed someone to step up the last couple of weeks, and DJ come in and done that and he’s done it again tonight he’s probably disappointed he doesn’t have another one as he did get another chance towards the end but he’s been good for us and it’s nice for him to get on the score sheet and hopefully another one on Saturday.”


    Watts then spoke about Lewis Alessandra’s need for minutes after spells in and out of the team with an injury.


    “He’s coming back from a groin injury and it’s one of those tough injuries where one minute you feel like your good and another minute you feel it again but he’s been okay the last couple of sessions he’s been involved tonight so hopefully we’ll get him some more minutes coming up and then it’ll be okay going forward but it’s one to monitor really.”


    Looking ahead to Saturday, Watts said: “It’s very key and we’ve kind of had a target coming into a run of three games here and we’ve kind of let ourselves down tonight and that puts more emphasis on the game on Saturday, we need to see a reaction from everybody staff and players to go into that game on Saturday and turn up and give the fans something to shout about.”
