Match Info: Barnoldswick Town (H), Sat 8th Mar, 3pm KO

Our stunning 7-0 victory against Litherland REMYCA in front of 3,315 extended our fantastic winning run to eight games and extending the gap at the top of the table.


We were given a lift even before the kick-off when Ramsbottom lost at home to FC St Helens on Friday night. And the big margin of victory more than made up for the result in the reverse fixture at Litherland in December.


Five goals before half time and seven separate scorers demonstrated the terrific attacking mindset in the team. And it was great to see Nicky Adams back in action as a sub following his hamstring injury.


The Shakers 4-1 victory at Barnoldswick on January 18 launched our winning run, so we’ll be looking to extend it before two away fixtures at FC St Helens and Pilkington.


We’re now on 88 points from 39 games – 10 in front of Rammy, who lost again on Tuesday. Lower Breck also remain a threat, in second place after a midweek home win against West Didsbury and Chorlton. They’ve won five of their last six matches and are on 79 points from 37 games.


If we win every match, we win the league. We’ve seen how a big, noisy crowd helps the team. So…be there, be part of it, be loud and be proud! and make some noise!!!! Up The Shakers!!!

In Opposition – Barnoldswick Town
Since we beat them, Barlick have made something of a recovery. They’ve lost only one of their last six games – won three and drawn two. That leaves them in 14th position, with 54 points from 39 games.


They’re an ambitious club with a good set-up. They will be looking to achieve 10th place at least by the end of the season, so we can expect them to come to Gigg looking for a good result.

Reaction: Bebeto Gomes Litherland REMYCA (H)

Bury blitzed past Litherland REMYCA with a 7-0 victory defender Bebeto Gomes spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game


Bebeto Gomes: “I thought we came in quite strong, set the tone for minute one, went 5-0 at half-time. Yeah, the second half, we just saw it through. Going in 5-0 at half-time, that only comes around every so often in football, it doesn’t happen every week.”


He then spoke about what the message was at half time with him saying “Just to come back with the same energy, the same energy, the same principles and keep pushing. Eventually, we get more goals. We were hoping for double digits, but it didn’t happen, but the 7-0 is still good.”


Bebeto then spoke about what its like playing in his new role “Obviously, I like attacking, I love attacking but first defending and then attacking after. I love defending now.”


He then spoke about whether it’s annoying to not get on the score sheet today, he said: “Most definitely. I was hoping for a goal or two, but hey, I take that one assist.” Bebeto then looked ahead to next weeks game with him saying “Yes, of course, keep the momentum going, for sure. Keep stacking the wins, taking them off, seven to go, right?”

Reaction: Aiden Walker Litherland REMYCA

Bury won 7-0 over Litherland REMYCA to extend their lead at the top of the NWCFL Defender Aiden Walker gave us his thoughts on the game.


Aiden Walker: “Yeah, no, perfect, I think putting seven past them, I think in recent weeks we’ve all been winning by one or two goals, so it’s nice to win convincingly today. Obviously clean sheet, same again last week, it’s always nice adding a goal to it too, I think I probably should have got two or three really, with some missed chances, but yeah, buzzing, great win. Clean sheets seem to be really important for yourself especially, at 4-0 you’ve gone and added the fourth, and then a minute later you’re making a last-ditch block to stop them from making it 4-1.”


He then spoke about how nice it is to keep a clean sheet today, he said “Yeah, it is massive keeping clean sheets, that’s what I’m here to do. Keep clean sheets, I think that’s free now but keep clean sheets with the players we’ve got up top, we’re always going to score goals, the lads in there are absolutely brilliant. So yeah, that’s what we’re here to do, and I think in the first half we were a bit sloppy, they could have got one or two, but we ended up, Mitch made a couple of good saves, a couple of good blocks, but it’s always nice to get a clean sheet.”


Aiden then spoke about how the team kept their composure whilst knowing about Ramsbottom slip up last night “Yeah, obviously we had an eye on that and they obviously lost, but all focus is on us, if we win every game, we win the league, so we’re taking it a game at a time, on to next week, seven left, we win every game, we win the league. So, the lads are just focusing on game by game, and I think today was superb.”


He then spoke about what it’s been like fitting into Dave’s system since joining “Yeah, it’s brilliant, obviously playing here, it’s superb, in front of the fans, they’re brilliant, 3,500 every time we’re here at this level, it’s absolutely superb.


The gaffer and his staff, the training sessions, they’re intense, they are top draw on the facilities, you can’t moan, it’s a great place to be, and the lads love it, thriving from it, so yeah, it’s great.”


Aiden then spoke about whether the main goal is to win every game left “Yeah, obviously we want to win the league, we want to win the next seven games. Definitely.”

Reaction: Dave McNabb Litherland REMYCA (H)

Bury came out 7-0 winners as they eased past Litherland REMYCA, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game.
Dave McNabb: “I thought we were excellent in the first half, a couple of little sloppy moments defensively, the space in between the back line wasn’t quite right, we gave them a couple of chances, but going forward I thought we were frightening in the first half, I thought we were exceptional, we came in 5-0 and deserved. The second half started really well and then we got into a bit of a stop-start game for half an hour, 40 minutes or so, and look, massive, massive respect to REMYCA because it’s always tough when you concede the goals, but they didn’t stop, they didn’t give up, they were working right to the end, obviously he had to finish the game with 10 men as well, so I don’t want to be critical in any way, shape or form, we’ve won the game 7-0, I think we could have maybe been a bit more clinical in the second half, but again, you’re 6-0 up at the time, and it’s like, how much do you want the players to exert themselves, knowing that we’ve got seven massive games left, so all in all, really pleased and we’re prepared now to go ready for next week.”
He then spoke about the changes to todays starting 11 with Aaron Chalmers replacing Louis Jeanne on his return to the squad, he said “Yes, a bit of both, I think obviously, we’ve won every game since Louis came to the club, so the impact he’s had in such a short space of time has been really good. I thought it was important to try and get Aaron back on the side again, just a few minutes after he’d been away for a couple of weeks, obviously he had 20 minutes last week, we need to make sure the squad’s fresh, and that people are robust. I thought we needed Aaron’s aggression today on the pitch, he’s a leader and the way he attacks the ball is exceptional, so we thought we needed that today, but we’ve got the beauty of having a really strong squad, and obviously we’ve got lots of options, and I think the team that went out there today did really well.”
Dave then spoke about the fact he has used 18 players in his last 6 games with him saying “It is, and I think obviously people will have comments around the number of players used, and I’ve said it before, you don’t get the recruitments 100% right, there are some mistakes that you make, but I think in the squad that we’ve got at the moment, the 18-19 players we’ve got at the club at the moment, who are playing regularly here and playing, I think 12 of them have played over 75% of the games we’ve played this season, so 15 competitive games now under our belt, 12 of them have played at least 75% to 80% of those games, if you add that to your Josh’s [Gregory] and Brad Carroll’s, who’ve been long-term injuries but been here since the start of pre-season, 14 players in and around the squad all season, it’s a big percentage in terms of players played, so you’ve always got to take a bit of stick now and again when players come in and go, but it’s the level we’re at, but like you said, 18 players used over the last six or seven games, I think it shows how strong we are and how robust the current group is.”
He then spoke about Nicky Adams return to the side with him saying “Yeah, exactly, I think he’s trained well this week, we probably held him back last week, we probably could have pushed him for the Thursday training and then into the squad for the Saturday, but we held him back another week, he did really well this week in training. The plan was today, get him on for 20 minutes, just sit and bottle the ball about, he must have played about 25 long passes in the first five minutes, so he’s more than tested his hamstring now and come through, so that’s good.”
Dave then spoke about the 7 different goal scorers in todays result, he said “Yeah, it’s strange isn’t it, obviously the amount of goals we scored this season is frightening, but to score seven in a game and have seven different scorers, it doesn’t happen too often, but again, it shows that it’s not just all about your strikers, it’s not all about your DJs [Pedro], it’s not all about your Rubens [Jerome] or your Lewis [Bryne], we can share the goals about and some really good goals today, so build on that and we’ll go again next week.”
He then praised the fans for their atmosphere from today’s game “Yeah, we know how important they are in every game, obviously as the running comes in, they’re even more important, because REMYCA are a young side, they’ve got some young lads there, some really good players, and they’ve come here and they’ll never experience that, and the fans today were even better than usual. I mean, the noise out of them before we even kicked off, we were finishing the warm-up and they were already singing the songs, going through the normal repertoire, so the massive ask for me is just keep doing that, keep bringing the noise in and we’ll come and give 100 per cent for you.”
To finish the interview he then looked ahead to next weeks fixture against Barnoldswick “I think it’ll be a tough game, I think we were very clinical against them last time, they didn’t create a lot against us but we found it hard to break them down, the couple of chances we scored from, we only created maybe a handful more, so we’re very clinical on the day, we’ll have to be the same again next week.”
