WANDERERS

3-5-2

KEVIN POOLE ... 7

Two excellent early saves from Dunfield shots.

DANNY LIVESEY ... 7

The youngster looked steady in his first senior start.

DAVID HOLDSWORTH ... 7

Made his experience count; working hard for a contract.

IVAN CAMPO ... 6

Wanted to be involved in everything but far too cavalier.

BERNARD MENDY ... 5

Good contributions first half but too far forward in the second.

STIG TOFTING ... 6

Never stopped trying but struggled to get his timing right.

AKIN ... 6

His sending off looked harsh; still has some way to go.

JERMAINE JOHNSON ... 5

Still struggling to fulfil his enormous potential.

JEFF SMITH ... 7

Did well at left wing-back; got through a lot of work.

JON WALTERS ... 5

No chance for the youngster to make an impact.

CHRIS ARMSTRONG ... 5

Needs time to get back in tune after missing so much.

Subs: Henrik Pedersen (6) for Armstrong 53 mins; Dean Holdsworth (6) for Walters 58 mins, Kevin Nolan (6) for Johnson 59 mins. Not used: Leam Richardson, Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Man of the Match

TERRY DUNFIELD

BUSY in midfield and a threat going forward; his links with Newby caused Wanderers so many problems.

Magic Moment

WHEN Dean replaced Walters and joined his brother David on the field. The Holdsworth's became the first twins ever to play for Wanderers.

Moan of the Match

THE team selection backfired but certain players were given a chance to stake their Premiership claims and failed.

KICK BY KICK

5 mins: Poole has to get down well to save Dunfield's shot.

11 mins: Bury threaten again as Unsworth gets the better of Campo; Newby miskicks but Dunfield drives in a shot forcing Poole to make a smart save.

20 mins: Newby launches another dangerous raid and this time Dunfield is off target.

32 mins: Armstrong almost gets lucky, blocking Swailes' clearance and seeing the ball fly narrowly wide of Garner's left post.

Half-time:

Wanderers 0 Bury 0

GOAL!

48 mins: Mendy and Woodthorpe challenge for Newby's right wing cross and the Frenchman appears to put the ball over the line.

53 mins: Bury are dangerous on the counter-attack, Dunfield firing just over after another Newby break.

60 mins: Garner looks troubled for the only time, spilling Nolan's shot and grateful for a defender's clearance.

63 mins: Nolan (pictured) is desperately unlucky, penetrating Bury's defences with some neat interplay with Pedersen only to lose control when it mattered.

64 mins: Akin is sent off for a second bookable offence.

70 mins: Mendy gets forward but not quite far enough, just unable to reach Smith's dangerous cross.

82 mins: Tofting escapes penalty appeals for handball - and wins the free kick himself.

90 mins: Billy sets himself up with a blistering break but misses the target wildly.

Final score:

Wanderers 0 Bury 1
