Well, we had to lose sometime and you could almost predict our first defeat under Ronnie would come against a team that hadn't won in 13 games.
We were very poor today, played with no spark or urgency and Bury deserved their victory. We did not win enough second balls, and the whole tempo of our play was akin to a pre-season game.
With hindsight, it was probably a mistake to start with the two youngsters up front, although the service to them was so poor that Enoch's presence may not have made much difference. We were very lucky to be level at half time, with Bury showing their lack of confidence in front of goal by missing a couple of sitters. Our second half performance was a marginal improvement on the first, but we can have no complaint about the result.
Robinson had an off day, and our defending on the first goal in particular was woeful, although I don't think the back four did particularly badly overall. Strangely, after the second goal went in we actually decided to string a couple of moves together and played ok for the final ten minutes.
Hopefully today was just a one-off, as the attitude we showed today could result in us limping over the line in 20th place if repeated in the remaining games of the season.
