After a disappointing night on Merseyside midfielder Cam Fogerty spoke to the club to give his thoughts on the game.


Cam Fogerty: “It was a poor game of football it was poor on the eye, and we weren’t up to it, we weren’t great and that’s all I’ve got to say.”


Cam then spoke about what needs to be put right to stop this run of form with the Shakers conceding a lot of goals, Cam said “I don’t know, first half on Saturday we were unbelievable 4-0 up at half time but in the second half we were terrible, and we conceded 2 unnecessary goals. Lower Breck we conceded too many and tonight we conceded too many, from now on we always look like a threat and we always score but we can’t keep conceding the way we are just making it harder for ourselves but the second half was better than the first we created chances but their keeper had a good game, we had an offside goal in the first half and we hit the post near the end but we shouldn’t have to create so many chances to win a game of football but yeah I’m not too sure how we sort it.”


Cam then spoke about what he believed went wrong tonight for the Shakers, he said: “No, I can’t the conditions were the same for both teams in the first half we played the game wrong on that you can’t play myself included I tried to play passes but some were going astray as it was too windy and they just did the basics well, they won the first and second balls and they got it down the channels and that’s where they got a couple of goals from but yeah even on the 3rd they won the ball clipped it long and went through 1 on 1 and it was a goal and they did the basics well and we didn’t but we also didn’t play the conditions.”


Cam then gave a message to the fans ahead of this weekend’s game against Colne.


Cam Fogerty: “I want to say sorry after tonight but no we’ll make it right on Saturday we’ll be back to our best but I mean we did it a few weeks ago when we drew to Charnock and then on the weekend won 8-0 so hopefully we do put it right but we haven’t loss 2 in a row yet in the league and I’m confident this Saturday we’ll come away with a win.”

The Shakers had a tough night on Merseyside after a 3-1 defeat away at Litherland, Manager Dave McNabb gave us his thoughts on the game when speaking to the club.


Dave McNabb: “I thought the performance from start to finish was an absolute disgrace, I don’t want to take anything away from Litherland I thought they were excellent, they battled and worked hard for each other and had real quality what caused us problems when they went forward so I don’t want to take anything away from them but I thought we were an absolute disgrace we embarrassed ourselves and the fans and I can only really apologise to them, there aren’t any more words I can say for that other than sorry and I can promise it won’t happen again.”


Dave then spoke about the decision to stick with the same starting 11 from the game against Burscough he said “On Saturday I thought the first half was really good and I decided to stay with the same team, I think that’s on me and it was the wrong selection and it was the wrong shape, there was no men out there and you’ve seen that today and some of the performances where they allowed men to run at them and they allowed themselves to be outbattled and outfought and it’s not good enough and it won’t be accepted.”


He then spoke about how Bury needs to respond ahead of this weekend clash against Colne, he said “It’s now on the staff and me, we’ve identified some vulnerabilities I think there have been occasions in games where we’ve been excellent and you’ve seen the odd vulnerability and it’s happened and we’ve kind of had the performances around that to plaster over it and the two games we’ve lost its been the same things and if we continue to allow that to happen it’s on me and it’s on the staff so like I’ve said it won’t be happening again.”


Dave then spoke about what new signing Nicky Adams could add to the club him saying “If he could’ve been here tonight you would’ve seen a man on the pitch, you would have seen a leader, unfortunately, because of circumstances outside of anyone’s control, he wasn’t here tonight but it’s a massive signing for the club I’m just a little bit gutted that tonight overshadowed it because it should’ve been a celebration welcoming Nicky back to the club but it’s our job to put it right on Saturday with him involved.”

After a dominant performance by Bury to seal a 4-2 win over Burscough defender Lewis Earl spoke to the club about the game.


Lewis Earl: “It was a game of two halves I thought in the first half we were unbelievable getting 4 goals and looked dominant but in the second half we didn’t but luckily we got the 3 points and got onto the next game.”


Lewis than spoke how he felt in that period during the second half where Burscough were on the ascendancy saying “It was a tough game and it’s very windy when you come to places like this because they had the wind and when the keeper kicks it long it goes long it’s just so it’s difficult as you’ve got to win more duels and just see it out which we didn’t really do to be fair as we conceded two sloppy goals and it makes it more difficult so we need to improve on that.”


He than spoke about how the goals conceded today we’ll need to be something they put right for Wednesday saying “Yeah definitely, we’ll look at that and we need to concede less and we know that and luckily we’ve got the players who can score 4 goals a game but we shouldn’t need to score to win by doing that if we score 4 we should be winning 4-0 but it’s sloppy goals and we’ll work on that.”


Lewis than spoke about the need for the 3 points today after last week defeat to Lower Breck he said “Definitely, we’re gutted we weren’t going to win every game, and we know that, but it was good to get the 3 points today and we just need to build on that.”

Despite the late fightback from the hosts Bury first half dominance saw them run out 4-2 winners. First team analyst Chris Watt gave his reaction to the game when speaking to the club.


Chris Watt: “I thought the first half was some of the better stuff we played in a few weeks to be fair in terms of creating chances, going forward and being solid defensively but in the second half we seemed to drop off a little bit we started to lose our shape and not really dealing with long balls in behind us and then you invite pressure onto yourself and there was some last inch clearances and it just kept coming back but its been the story of the last couple weeks really other than Longbridge we haven’t really put a full performance together so there’s stuff to work on like always.”


Chris than spoke about the reason behind the 5 changes to todays starting 11 saying “ Just freshening it up really as last Saturday was a really tough game for the lads in terms of dealing with the style of play Lower Breck impose and I thought today we could try and get it down a bit and the pitch was a lot better so we tried to get some lads in who have missed the last couple of weeks who are ready to come on and do a job and I think that showed in the first half. We made a few changes with Brian [Ly] coming back in and Pat [Jarrett] starting and it worked well and maybe that didn’t help us as much in the second half because maybe fitness came into that because some of the lads haven’t had a lot of minutes recently, so they found it tough the same way the whole team did in the second half.


Chris than gave us his thoughts on Patrick Jarrett performance in the side, he said “Yeah, you saw it in the way he came on last weekend against Lower Breck he was starting to find his feet because you know he’s not that long off of a long term injury and sometimes when you bring lads in you have to give them time not just to bed into the squad and get to know everybody else but to give them time to get their bodies where it needs to be and that’s not just physical but mentally as well you know because sometimes you can compensate for long-term injuries and it plays on your mind and things like that and I’m not saying that’s the case with Pat but sometimes it can be and you have to be kind of patient at times and let them get to where they need to be and slowly introduce them and he made his first start for us today and I thought he did really well.”


Chris than spoke on Summer arrival Lewis Alessandra decision to retire after today’s game.


Chris Watt: “What a career, it’s really sad to see him go obviously it’s his decision that he’s made and clearly he feels that’s what is best for him we’d have loved for him to stay but he needs to do what’s right and he feels like now is the time to wrap a really long career in the game and he’s done really well for us and he’s been the perfect pro and we wish him all the best.”


To finish the interview Chris than looked forward to the midweek game against Litherland REMYCA saying “We can’t focus too much on other results we’re looking ahead to this month and we know we need to be better and December going to be a really big month for us as we’ve got a lot of home games so we need to make sure the points are on the board for those and Remy are a really tough place to go and a hard team to play against with tough conditions but we’ll make it right and train and work on the things we need to work on to try and prepare as much as possible for Wednesday and hopefully get the three points.”

After the Shakers 4-2 win over Burscough Patrick Jarrett gave his thoughts to the club on the game after his first start for the club.


Patrick Jarrett: “I thought as a whole it was positive in the first half we looked a real threat every time we went forward and we kept winning it back high up and we went forward with purpose but yeah the first half was good but in the second half I don’t think we really found our groove really what’s a bit of a shame considering we did so well in the first half so it’s about piecing both halves together and putting in complete performances but on the whole it was positive.”


Patrick than told us what the half time message was after a dominant half what saw Bury take a 4-0 lead into the break, he said “it was just more of the same really and you know we were winning the ball high up and the press looked decent and just more of the same really, but it didn’t really go that way what was annoying really and they came out in the second half what is what the manager said and we couldn’t find a way of dealing with that but we grounded out another 3 points and that’s the main thing.”


Patrick than looked ahead to the midweek game against Litherland REMYCA saying “It was disappointing to lose against Lower Breck, so we needed to put that right and get the 3 points and that’s what we did. It’s a massive game Wednesday and it’s a quick turnaround we’ll train on Monday, but we need to be right for it and we need to be in the right mindset for it and get the 3 points and carry on the momentum

Bury have extended their unbeaten streak to 21 matches after a dominant display against Longbridge Town today’s Player Of The Match Lewis Earl gave us his thoughts on the game when speaking to the club.


Lewis Earl: “I thought it was a confident performance, and I thought we did everything right we were clinical in front of goal and solid at the back. Off the ball we were unbelievable, and it was the kind of performance we needed really after a couple of games where we’ve been good in halves and good in spells it was good to get a solid performance and blow someone away.”


He then spoke about whether today’s performance, really shows what this club is about saying “Yeah definitely, we spoke about that at the end of the game obviously as I say the first half on Tuesday night here wasn’t good enough, but we’ve shown today that were a team that’s good enough to do it and we need to be doing it more often instead of scraping through games and we can do stuff like that but we’ve got to be doing that all the time.”


Lewis then spoke about whether the issue of not starting fast enough in previous games is something that will be left in the past he said “Hopefully, that’s all we can say but we’ve got to look towards the next game if it’s something and it’s nothing were doing consciously it’s something that just kind of happens, but we need to get that out and we know that we need to start faster we’ve talked about it a lot that we need to start imposing ourself on games.”


To finish the interview Lewis looked forward to our upcoming run of away games and whether today’s performance was important heading into this run.


Lewis Earl: “Yeah definitely, we talk with the lads as well about how away games always feel like home games with the number of fans we bring as well, the fans are unbelievable, so it really helps but yeah a result like this helps with tough fixtures coming up.”
