I was sat fairly close to where Wilson made his tackle and in my view it was a certain red card. It was a high lunge and somewhat reckless. Given that it was right in front of the referee (and the Bury players were so quick to surround the ref - a sad practice that occurred after every half-incident; their manager behaving no better) there was only one possible outcome.

Oddly the numerical disadvantage worked in our favour as it was only after Odejayi was taken off for Liddle that we managed to maintain our shape. In fact I'd go as far as to say that if we had played with our starting 11 for 90 minutes we would have lost the game.

Bettinelli had an outstanding game not only in making point-blank saves but in commanding his area and organising the defence. By far and away the clear Man of the Match.

Surprised to see the negative comments against our centre-midfield. Given that Bury played through the middle for the entire second half and got nowhere near I'd say they did well. We set up two compact banks of four to stop the play and they held their lines well. Joyce made a number of key interceptions and Murphy a number of important clearances.

Would hope to see Odejayi given a rest in the next game as his positional play was poor and he looked sluggish. Webber is such an important player for us in the centre forward role and would have scored if not for a wonder-tackle by the Bury centre half which killed our counter. Webber could do with a lively forward with plenty of legs playing off him. An in-form James Gray is the best candidate for this role in my eyes.
