Bury (H) J P Trophy 1st Round Tuesday 1/9/09

[BathSaddler]

176 minutes of football since we last scored. 334 minutes since we last scored from open play.

Jones' goal against Southend was a header from a free kick, Nicholls' at Accrington also came from a free kick and the goal against Brighton was an own goal.

None of our players have scored a goal from open play this season!!!

And we still haven't. 0-0 at fulltime.

[Plastic Hawk]

Straight to Penalties.

Several hours on the road and £20+ in petrol saved then. Result! Albeit a rather predictable one...

:( :( :(

Sorry, I was thinking more along the lines of the non-penalties.

I doubt we'll score at Norwich either.

I said it after the very first friendly I saw...that we simply wont score enough goals, for whatever reason, and if you dont score, you dont win games.

We're going down, and miserably by the looks of it.

We were talking about this on Saturday, we must be the only club in the country who fiddle the gates upwards :D

I think they play with the figures to be honest, many times there has been a good crowd and announced a lot lot less than what appears so may be a bit of teaming and lading going on

WM unable to give live commentary of shootout due to 'contractual reasons'

[Dave Gittins]

Missed first penalty, Bury scored theirs

[philthesaddler]

1 penalty each, 1-0 to Bury. Parkin hit the post.

We cant even score penalties now :D

[BathSaddler]

Parkin has missed the first penalty. Oh, the irony.

[Dave Gittins]

Taundry scores, Bury score

1-2

What actually constitutes 'commentary'?

At the moment, they're describing every penalty just seconds after its been taken!

The chap singing live must be mighty pissed off being interupted all the time :lol:

[Dave Gittins]

Deeney scores, Bury score

2-3

They think it's all over...

At leat we can defend.

The lack of goals can be remedied easily enough. Just bite the bullet, stuff footballing "principles", lump the ball into the box at every opportunity, ask Deeney and/or Parkin to basically foul the opposition defenders constantly and get men from midfield up to them quickly. At this level the defenders will make enough mistakes that we'll score more than enough goals to survive (especially if we get Byfield into the box too as finishing is usually the last thing a striker loses).

It'll be ugly, but it'll be plenty effective. Question is, do we think Hutchings will be willing to go that route?

[Dave Gittins]

Steve Jones scores, Bury score

3-4

[PT]

......... it is now!

Our recent cup record is an insult to the great history of our club!!

[philthesaddler]

...it is now!

Well done WFC, another terrific run in the cups.

[Dave Gittins]

Richards scores, Bury score

Who wants to go to Wembley anyway?!!

[BathSaddler]

Well that's that then. Our proud cup record against teams from League Two continues :( .

I thought we already were playing ugly :wink: .

[Young_Tong]

Embarrasing...

[Plastic Hawk]

I thought we already were playing ugly :wink: .

We're playing stupid. I'll tell you that for nothing! :wink:

[Mirek]

and just to remind all you boys and girls that JWB could well receive mysterious offers at 11:55pm for a few of the players and sadly wont have time to replace them

remember the script?

[Geordiesaddler]

Can we just play the first round defeat in the FA Cup onl youtube?

Totally embarrasing listening on Saddass world, I won't even be doing that again this season.

We are fodder for basement clubs to clamber over.

Great credit to the 200 Bury fans who sounded great giving their team superb support, sounded like they were at home.

Club transformed Wallet???

Yes, from a small but proud football club that had a great cup tradition, to an utter pile of tripe that couldn't win an egg and spoon race.

[latviancheese]

Disgraceful.

[SheffieldSaddler]

Bring back Colin Lee!

Transfer window shut at 5pm (although I guess that we could have sold someone eariler and just not announced it - it'd have to be someone who didn't play tonight as the player would no longer have been registered to WFC by 7.45).

:wink: :wink:

Is Mick Kearns a puppet or what, he has said we have had bad luck. . . . . . .. . . . . . . we are playing Bury for f***sake!

Mick Kearns is a useless has been. Should never be allowed to cover a Walsall match.

[Cheesebag]

cack

[belgiansaddler]

Oh my God. :roll:

Still I'm sure there are plenty of positives to take out of the game :lol:
