Carling Cup 1st round draw: Bury at home

[Aanvalluh]

They'll smash us.

Seriously - you make Bury favourites? If Bury bring 3000+ it will be more like a home game for them, and it really should have been a TV game.

[TANGODANCER]

If our very own version of William Wallace can't motivate the troops to repel an invasion from Bury we're really in lumber. And painting blue crosses on their faces and a show of asses before kick-off won't work either. That'll just be like a normal Saturday night round the Two Tubs.

I remember being stood on the Manny Road Paddock in the pissing rain for a night match with Bury many years ago. John McGinlay scored a hatrick........... for Bury!

I was there as well. Under Phil Neal, we had a 20 odd (maybe 24?) match unbeaten run, we lost on the road and this ended our unbeaten home streak as well. We were shite that night.

We beat them in the play-offs that season (90/91) though. Heh heh.

And you're right, Jaffka - that Bury home game was the midweek after we'd ended the 23-match unbeaten run at Mansfield, hammered 4-0, with Tony P sat on the sidelines in a herringbone jacket. A young Alan Stubbs played at Field Mill, and was as awful as the rest of 'em.
That run took us from 23rd to 2nd...

We did. I still reckon that TP's shot could've gone anywhere, mind.

[Dr Hotdog]

Just mad a very tough last minute decision to go tonight. Hope to see a couple of the Devvy Squad putting a case for first-team Championship action. Also, Bogdan to come in, not put a foot wrong and replace Londergroan long term.

[Athers]

Freedman: “I watched a video yesterday and [Bury] put 27 crosses into the box on Saturday – that tells you what they are about. We are geared up for them – there has been no shortage of preparation from us. We were in early yesterday looking at their game and working very hard in training."

Wheater?

I know it probably doesn't mean much, but why does he give away our bloody game plan in every pre-match interview??

But that's not really giving away our game plan is it. More that we know their.

What he IS saying ... about a division 4 club, one who lost at home in this match of 27 crosses, one who damn nearly went out of business last year ... is that he's focussing on our defence.

Really.

After last week's shambles.

Didn't he say vs Watford he had spent ages analysing the channel runs which Vydra and Deeney make? 20 minutes in and they've both scored from running down the channels.

There was an almost unwritten rule in those days that we must lose to Bury. They treated it as their cup final and we seemed to get caught cold every time. The play off win & the 3-1 win around Xmas time (Reeves double) came as welcome relief.

Tonight it will be normal service resumed. We'll concede 2 to crosses obviously, then grab a late consolation. The open top bus at Bury Interchange will have to have its 100 year service

[Lost Leopard Spot]

We'll lump 'em with a five-niller: I see it like it was yesterday even though it's tonight and hasn't happened yet.

That 4-2 home loss hurt. But it was delightful to play them in the League Cup, Rioch's second season; they beat us 2-0 in the first leg at ours, so we beat them 2-0 at theirs - McGinlay, pleasingly, levelling on aggregate - then won on penalties. I repeat: Heh heh.

[NiceHotCuppaTea]

We'll shit 'em.

[Prufrock]

... about a division 4 club..

It's no good living in the past, Bobo, y'need to get with it, "go modern yourself" as Pru would say!

He f*cking wouldn't!

Not a good memory that one. The easiest hat-trick Super John ever scored I bet. Saw SKD's against us for Chesterfield as well, that was more impressive if I remember right.
Bury had loads of cash in those days, perhaps even saw us as equals?!!

ahhh - those heady halcyon days when we might be considered equal with bury... (sigh)

Never mind, it could happen again soon.

Didn't that 'loads of cash' come from a bent chairman that ended up getting sent down for embezzlement or summat?

Gotta admire how much McGinlay loved scoring that goal. He'd been getting shite from the home fans all game(s).

Side note: Two goals from corners!

[General Mannerheim]

do draws go to replay in this? i hope we draw if so...

[Burnden Paddock]

Extra time and pens. Unfortunately!

My prediction 0-2 and pissed wet through. The good company keeping us laughing throughout!
