Illness victim Danny Boshell was named amongst the subs also. Gary Jones kept his place in a 4-4-2 formation.

The first chance fell to Bury's Bishop who went past Fenton, but his cross was too easy for Barnes to gather.

And Jones volleyed just wide before Town had the ball in the back of the net on 35 minutes, but this time it was chalked out for a push in the area.
