Lowe hails ruthless Bury after big win over Notts County
Posted Sunday, October 21, 2018 by PA
Bury manager Ryan Lowe hailed his side’s ruthless performance as they soared to a 4-0 home win against previously in-form Notts County.
The Shakers dominated from start to finish and they are now unbeaten in five matches.
Harry Kewell’s Notts County were sent crashing back down to earth after they had won their previous three matches.
Lowe said: “That really was a ruthless performance from the lads. That was exactly what I asked for beforehand so I’m really pleased for everyone.
“We can be ruthless like that when we’re in the mood, but the players do need to keep a level head.
“The delivery from the flanks was great today, but it was only 90 per cent and I still want that extra 10 per cent.
“I’m more than happy for everyone, though. We got exactly what we deserved, but at the end of it all it’s still only another three points. That’s what it’s all about.
“We’d prepared really well for Notts County. They’d had some good results going into the game, but I was also keen to make it all about us.
“We’ve got to try and give the players that belief they all need, and it was there for everyone to see during the game.
“The ball retention was terrific, but so it should be. We’ve got good players here and they are capable of playing great football.”
Bury were two goals up inside the opening 20 minutes.
The opener came when Nicky Maynard slid in to convert Callum McFadzean’s cross as the ex-Bristol City, West Ham and Cardiff hitman registered his fourth goal in three games.
It was soon 2-0 as a low cross from Danny Mayor was not cleared by a static Magpies defence and the ball trickled into the path of Dominic Telford, who tapped home from three yards.
Bury made it three when Jay O’Shea scored from the spot after Matt Tootle was guilty of tripping Telford. Nicky Adams’ superb curling strike wrapped up Bury’s big win in the 88th minute.
Notts County boss Harry Kewell appeared a little shell-shocked.
He said: “Too man of the players just didn’t look up for it enough today. I’m not really sure why that was, because we’d gone into the game in good form.
“We allowed Bury far too much time to play their game. They are a good side, but we gave them far too much time and space.
“We needed to put more pressure on them of course, but for whatever reason that just didn’t happen. Hopefully it was just an off day.
“It was a poor performance, so thank God we’ve got the chance to go and put it right on Tuesday against MK Dons.
“We know what the lads are capable of. It’s going to be about bouncing back as quickly as possible now.
“It’s a huge disappointment today, but we’ve got to forget about this and move on quickly.”
