We'd have been in with a chance of the play offs if he'd returned to the side sooner. | |

Both him and Canavan, proper centre backs and developing the type of partnership and understanding that money just can't buy (see Bury's CBs) | |

Canavan was exceptional too. Can't understand how Scunny fans were so quick to dismiss him as a waste of space. Mindboggling! | | | |

I think a lot of it is down to Canavan, superb signing. | |

Same thing happened with Oldham fans when we signed COG. I just ignore it. | |

It's a simple game, just get your defenders to defend and cut out any fancy stuff. Baffling Centre Halves with science is a recipe for disaster, why would you want to attempt to play football around your own penalty area,it just encourages the opposition to press on. | | | |

Yeah totally agree, great signing.. Seem very settled at the back, which has had a positive impact on lillis, Mcnulty at left back also had a very good game.. Like the look of the back 4 full of confidence.. | | | |

I think it's different with strikers though. I'll hazard a guess that he did a lot of stuff right COG but because he didn't score many goals, the thick Biffos just dismissed him as garbage.
Canavan is literally just a solid no nonsense defender. It's hard to get that wrong. I reckon the fact that he's maybe not as cultured as some other CB's was the key to his undoing. Having said that though, he pinged a few lovely balls out today! | | | |

Absolutely. A lot of football fans dismiss a player's ability based on how they perform for a single club. Different managers and coaches ask players to play and train in different ways. At some clubs it works and at others it doesn't.
I've still to see Canavan play, or to see McNulty at left back. I'm looking forward to it. | |

McNulty really has settled at LB now it's great to see. Yeah he doesn't attack as much as other players might, but let the defenders defend and the attackers attack! A few weeks back we couldn't buy a clean sheet, now we're more solid than we've been in a hell of a long time. Credit to Hill, Canavan has been a superb signing. Bar the Shrewsbury result (and they are in very good form to be fair) we've hit fantastic form at a crucial time of the season. | | | |

I was saying the same thing after the game, he has settled in to his role, good to see. I think Centre backs need to just be solid and no nonsense styled first and foremost, over coaching with sports science, as was said in an earlier post can bamboozle them. I think this has happened to Lancashire, he seems to over think everything he does, and there can't be room for ball playing centre backs at this level of the game. | |

Michael rose was man of the match for me on an afternoon where we had a lot of stand out players | | | |

I've never understood the problem with a good old punt up the pitch. It puts their defence under pressure, gives ours a breather and opens up play for the second ball. I think we're gradually seeing the end of passing it out defence player by player (which I blame Sky TV for). | |

He played virtually ever game when Scunny got promoted with us from lge2. Very solid today again. | |

Eleven MOMs 100 percent for 90 minutes? Never letting Bury settle | |

They were raving about Hendo on Manc radio. Hilly singing his praises - along with Donal. | |

Never mind punts up the pitch, Eastham was taking pot shots at bury ducks in the Willbutts by way of personal entertainment! | |

Steve Err said Donals first half was the best he'd seen all season from a league 1 player | | | |
| Ashley Eastham on 20:05 - Mar 12 with 5971 views | Toffeemanc |
Eastham seem to be enjoying that, turned around with a smile and a laugh after doing it on at least 2 occasions, was funny to see. | |
| |
| Ashley Eastham on 20:13 - Mar 12 with 5913 views | D_Alien |
It was. He even banged it into the roof of the stand and waited to see whose head it ricocheted onto! | |
| |
| Ashley Eastham on 20:14 - Mar 12 with 5912 views | Daley_Lama |
Yep, had me chuckling too as he banged ball after ball into the roof and straight down onto the noggin of one of their fans who were desperate to sit nearer to the TDS to be laughed at. | |
| |
| Ashley Eastham on 20:20 - Mar 12 with 5855 views | rochedale |
Yep, he definitely enjoyed that! | |

Donal was absolutely incredible, was involved in everything, would love him to bring that for 90 minutes | |
