Re: Bury tonight
the way I viewed the game wasn't that we played particularly bad, rather that Bury did a number on us defensively. Whilst we were allowed to play a decent amount of possession football we rarely threatened their goal. Bury stood off us but as soon as we attempted to go around the foot went in. They harried and harassed and we had little answer.
Had Sean scored rather than converted his penalty it would have been tough on Bury.
Regards the penalty one or two have asked who could/should have taken it, well Proccy was our designated spotter in the play-off season scoring something along the lines of 9 from 11. Much as I malign those that endlessly mock Coleman I've got to agree that the supposed decision to allow the earner of the penalty to take it is a ridiculous one.
I've also got to agree with those that say Sean was one of our better players. Twas the same against Hull, when he came on he was the one who looked most likely to unlock the defence. Against Bury he was constantly running at them but (again praise to Bury and them knowing how to play us) he was always forced inside and having to lay the ball backwards to restart the moves.
