"It's not been a bad four days to be a Bury supporter, and to be fair, it's not been a bad four days to be a Bury manager as well.  I'm made up for everybody.  The fans were magnificent and we brought a great following again on Tuesday night.  I'm made up for everyone involved at the club.  We all know how important it is beating Rochdale and these are two massive results for us."

"The team and the result on Tuesday just shows what foundations we have in place at the club, especially with the youngsters coming through.  You look at Nicky Adams, David Buchanan, Andy Parrish and the youngsters we used on Tuesday - they were different class, and to be fair, against a very good Rochdale team.  They had a strong team out.  Jack Dorney came on, Domaine Rouse scored the second goal and Ricky Anane was outstanding for us.  The future is bright and that's the important thing for us.  We needed to do that to make sure the foundation was good and to move the club forward."

"I'm made up for Glynn Hurst to get his two goals, he needed that.  The whole side contributed to a really good performance.  I thought we were excellent in the first half and I told them that at half time.  When they came in they were disappointed that we had conceded so close to half time.  Ricky needs experience now playing in that kind of environment, he needs to learn how to step up and play against experienced players, but he did a fantastic job for us on the night.  He will benefit from this game, but we had to bring him off because he was cramping up.  He really enjoyed himself and he played with a smile on his face."

"It's great to give people like Ricky the opportunity to go and play.  It's not about making numbers up, we know that we are going to get good quality from the young kids.  For Domaine, it's one of the greatest nights of his life, and so it should be - I'm really pleased for him."

"Hursty usually goes on a run of scoring goals after a dry spell.  It's something we are going to have to look at and it's given me a good dilemma.  We now have Hursty scoring, Mangy scoring, Nicky scoring, Rouse scoring.  Nicky needed a goal on the night to top off an excellent performance; it was a very mature performance from him.  It was everything you want, his first touch was at people, he attacked people, his defending was very good and it was a superb all round display form him."

"We are three results from Wembley now, I said that to the lads before the game.  Everybody wants to play at Wembley in their career and we have an opportunity to do that now.  It was important that we carried on with that winning attitude and mentality, but you could see by their reaction and the way that we came out in the second half that we weren't feeling sorry for ourselves.  Hursty's first goal was excellent, typical Glynn Hurst in the way he got across people and then he got a typical Glynn Hurst goal from another cross with the header."
