"Well not a great result today, a mediocre performance against not a great team in Hartlepool..."

from the Bury Rivals messageboard

Bury looked threatening on the break a few times - rest of the time they looked crap

We had a couple of very good spells, but seemed to take our foot off the gas when we got the second goal & sat back to weather the storm (which to be fair we did admirably) All in all another good performance. 35 points from a possible 39, 13 games without a defeat, bet even the mighty Walsall are dreading coming here

I say all credit to Bury for trying to play proper football, really refreshing to see this but to be honest they couldn't cope with our passing and movement once we got going. I thought that Liddle had one of his best games today but we still miss Boland especially for about a 15 minute spell after our second. I wonder if Danny is just saving him for the next two games, maybe he might have been 95% fit but Danny just didn't want to risk him with two massive games due.

canny management that, like. We could also hopefully spring a new signing on Swindon next week, with a bit of luck. Porter still to come back, he would be in his element now that the lads have got their heads around being in this League - Skippy's link-up play would bring another 7 or 8 clear-cut chances every game, home and away
