This is how Bury have kick started their preparations for this weekends match! http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...all-news/bury-fc-sack-kevin-blackwell-6182865 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24508418 They're winless in seven, and have lost most of those games. I expect the lads to make it four games unbeaten, and win by a couple of goals! Jed to continue his run would be fantastic! How does everyone things Bury's managerial change with affect the players?
Despite the fact we will be without Trevor Carson in goal (please Guy don't play John Sullivan ), I think we could knock 3 or 4 goals past them, and win. Drop Yassin Moutaouakil, switch Joe Devera to right back, and bring in Shaun Cooper (or Dan Butler) at left back. Should be a good attendance again. Didn't their sacked manager Kevin Blackwell sign around 20 new players for Bury in the Summer ? It certainly paid off for him
Bugger I forgot that. So we need to score at least 3 to avoid defeat I hope the caretaker effect doesn't see them play their pants off!
4-2 to Portsmouth, in front of 16,800. Without Trevor in goal, it's inevitable that we'll concede at least one goal, probably two. Hopefully none though!

Im going for a 1-1 draw. I just don't think our team has got it together quite yet - looking very promising, but still a work in progress.
Oh no .. Bury have Rooney on the bench. Hopefully they won't bring him on or he'll score loads! John Rooney- younger brother of Wayne
