Bury Match Thread...............

OK Cashy and Shaker as you probably had a better view than me. I still think our centre midfield players have for the last several matches been playing too deep. When we were hanging on in the second half our formation, out of neccessity I suppose, was more like a back line of 6 with 2 wide midfielders none in centre midfield and one up front. When we have had eleven on the pitch in other matches the ten outfielders sort of play in a box of eight with a hole in the middle! In my opinion our centre midfield pair simply need to press higher up the middle of the field.
 
Can see why the ref sent him off as, at normal speed, it looks like a two footed lunge. But, using what passes for the pause button, it looks to me that:
[a] the Bury player had clearly lost control of the ball and was actually jumping towards it himself with both feet off the ground, and
Mr. Wilson makes the tackle with his right foot only, but his movement carries both feet through.
Anyway, he'll have to serve his ban and it'll up to Mr. Liddle, whose tackling is, IMHO, pretty good, to take his chance to reclaim the leftback position if it's offered.
