Bury won 3-0 over relegation battlers Squires Gate as the Shakers reached centurion status in their title fight, Rustam Stepans and Aiden Walker both spoke to the club to give us their thoughts on the game.
Rustam Stepans: “Yeah, I think it was a comfortable game to be fair, I think we moved the ball really well. We worked in on Thursday for moving the play, getting out wide, if there’s nothing on, coming back and back out wide again. So, yeah, really happy with the performance.”
Aiden Walker added onto this by giving us his thoughts on the game he said “Yeah, no, it’s massive. I think that’s six clean sheets now on the balance, so it’s always good to keep solid. I don’t think we looked like conceding much today. You know, they had two big lads up top who, they held it up well to be fair, but I think we dealt with it, we didn’t really look for it and we were just more being good on the ball, moving the ball side to side while building play up from the back. I don’t think Mitch [Allen] had a say to me, did he? No, I don’t think he did, no.”
Rusty then spoke about whether he thought the game would play out exactly as it did “I think some of the lads were a bit nervous and obviously Squires gate, I know what they had to do. I think they came up with the game plan, but I don’t think it worked out for them. I think we were just superior towards them, you know, so yeah, it was good.”
They then spoke about the need to focus as they enter the last three games, they said “Yeah, no, that’s it. We know win three games, win the league. We’ve seen a lot of people be focused on games later on, but we know we’re capable of winning three games, win the league, so that’s it really.”
Rustam the ended the interview by giving a message to the fans he said, “No, just I know how happy yous are when I’m doing my little celebration or whatever. I know it’s a bit cringy, but yeah, no, thank you very much. Keep it going.”
