Well somebody has to have the drive on behalf of the team. Currently we have Alan Knill.

Let's hope he can steer us around that mythical corner we're supposed to be about to turn .......

Absolutely Tomo, at the moment I feel like he's driving the Playbus! Anyone who has seen the opening credits on there will know what I mean.

Basically it's a kids show and the opening sequence shows a pair of hands driving a multi coloured bus straight down a road but the drivers hands are turning the steering wheel side to side whilst the bus is meant to be going straight! Bit like Knill's management methods!

We could be going straight but constant arsing around with the team for no apparent reason means we are veering from side to side.

God i'm babbling but it makes sense to me!

We just assumed you were the driver ....... :B[/quote]

Have you seen the number of replies they get on each thread?!

I'd be incensed if I was a Bury fan!

What Is the point in that forum existing? Seriously?

Preview up on the main site.

Team for today is
Rice
Tongue oconnor Downes nicho
Azeez mansell McCourt Chappell
Benyon mccallum

Pearce and hawley left out

Is Pearce injured?

Bury to win 1-0. I am wary that Knill will get Torquay fired up for the game but I think home advantage will help us get the 3 points. Btw, we have won 3 games this season not 2 (Accrington at home 3-0) as stated on your homepage. Should be a good atmosphere with Knill back at Gigg Lane. Safe journey to those travelling up.

If McCourt has a decent game, that could be a winning side. Benyon will be keen to stake a claim.

Perhaps last night's San Miguel is still tainting my judgment, but I am getting on us at 10/3. Treble with Eng to smash the paddies at rugby league and Man City to have Norwich on toast.

I bet Pearce is not happy, based on what I have seen and last week's reviews. I hope that decision doesn't backfire.

Hawley - am a little surprised but there is more to base this choice on, ie goal return or lack thereof.

Have a good feeling about today. Well done and enjoy to all yellows making the trip to Lancs. Had hoped to get there myself, but a forgotten family birthday got in the way. Will be there in spirit!

COYY!

Excited for today, this will be the new dawn
Hope we are not rushing Downes back to quickly. Is Pearce on bench as cover for AD?
No shock for Hawley.
Given a start Benners will commit 150% to the cause today
Hope they don't have too much pace on the right flank
COYY

First post after doing alot of reading. Im totally dumbfounded hes dropped Pearce, who was motm by a country mile last week :-( . Im firmly in the 'he doesnt know what hes doing camp' .

Excellent bench IMO, plenty of options for Knill to make best use of the subs!!
