Bury FC: August — October 14/15

Hi everyone, welcome back to my Bury FC story. Well it seems like we had a strong pre-season, so I was excited about this season. Europe is the obvious target and I’m hoping we fulfill that.

RESULTS

So, we started off the same way as we did last season, 14 points from a possible 27. We have also only kep a clean sheet once! Pretty dissapointing, as we always concede no matter whether it is in the 1st minute or the last. For example, conceding late to Burnley cost us 2 points, taking the lead twice against Blackburn and losing, late goal conceded also against United! ARRGH! Thats a total of 7 lost points :-( Defence really needs to be reviewed. Richards is the only capable defender in my team, and it makes him even look bad when we concede all these goals!

Bury occupy 9th position and are only 3/2 points of 6th. It’s a good start if you look at the table but the manner we have dropped points make it a bad start.

Great Victory against Cardiff!

Bury experienced a great victory against Cardiff, it seems like we have to score more than we concede!

Terrible defeat against QPR

Bury also experienced a terrible defeat against championship team QPR which saw them crashing out of the League Cup, much earlier compared to last season where Bury reached the semi finals!

Lastly a few words on my new signings. Emmanuel Adebyor has performed the best up to now, closely followed by Javi Garcia. Ade has scored 7 goals in 10 games and plays best in the ‘poacher’ role. Javi Garcia is a very reliable central midfielder and also has a sight for goals! The two young regens, Ronaldo and Quimbamba, are still blending into the squad and the equation is simple at the moment, which is they both need time.

Well people, thats the start of our season. It could have been much much better, but it is satisfying nevertheless.

Take care, Sayam.
