Bury, anyone going?

Any of the bury trialists look any good?

I agree with what has been said about Buckley - he looks a natural. I honestly can't see any point loaning him out when he can do a job for us.

Rothwell was good in the first half but frustrating in the second but him getting a lot more game time than most could be an indication that he is going to be key for us this season.

One or two still look a little off the pace to me yet with games running out. I'd have liked to see us tested more against better sides.

To me it looks like he was playing with the B team and indicates that he won't start vs Charlton. The lineup vs Blackpool at the weekend will likely be the team that starts vs Charlton so it'll be very interesting to see who starts.

Definitely the B team last night, the "A" team is the one that started at Rangers, and will probably start on Sat and against Charlton.

Rothwell back on the bench for another 6 months.

I appreciate the extra details about the match, but you've completely missed the point of my post. No bother though.

Having now read not at stupid o'clock, I see!

The goals.

 

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Really, really nice goals. If Rothwell doesn't start I will be starting my own "Tony out group".

I notice as well it looked like the players were doing a more structured and intense warm up before the game. Did Johnson take that?

3 excellent goals there. Tremendous pass for the last goal

Buckley rightfully getting the plaudits but thought Brad Johnson was excellent first half too. Ran the show in midfield - constantly looking to get on the ball, passing forward, organising those around him. Very impressed.

2nd goal an absolute beauty, end to end without them touching it!

Johnson definitely did the back four defensive line drills but I think Lowe took the rest. 

Hopefully he will have some influence over the manager this season. He seems far more dynamic and positive, and Mowbray needs a bit of that I think. Sometimes older managers in every walk of life carry the scars of past failures around with them and can benefit from the fearlessness of a younger person without the same baggage. 

I think they can potentially be terrific together.

They both have a philosophy of 'good, passing football', so hopefully Johnno can drag it back out of Mowbray instead of being cautious.

I thought they linked up well together in particular.

Bury offered so little threat first half but Grayson looked quite good and also comfortable on the ball, nice to have a left footer too.

Have we seen Travis and Johnson alongside eachother yet?
