"Head it, kick it, shin it - that's what this is all about.  In games like this you just have to play what they do.  The gaffer said it would be a hard game and that they would just knock the ball and lump it so we just had to battle for it.  We've shown today that we can play either type of side, the sides that can pass it and the sides that can kick it and shin it."

"It could have been two or three in the second half, but that's football.  Sometimes you have to settle for a 1-0 and it was a good goal from Elliott, I always try to show him how to score goals and I'm taking Bish under my wing after that miss at the end."

"1-0 was all it needs. Its three points.  Jim Provett had nothing to do and that's part of the job, when Darren Randolph was here we always tried to score goals and then keep a clean sheet. If you get more goals, you will keep clean sheets. Conceding just one goal is like a big stab in the back for us."

"It's great to see Jim back in goal for us and it's great to see him enjoying his game.  I felt sorry for him last week because that was his first game back, but he's a strong lad and we said after last weekend that we all have to bounce back, and we've done that and with a clean sheet again."

"It was a shame that Jim didn't keep a clean sheet last week, but it starts again today and it carries onto next season, the more clean sheets we keep; the more teams will come here and be afraid of us."

"It's always special for me when I play against Macclesfield Town.  I know that they are not in any danger now, they are safe and that was my main worry about them.  They know me; I'm a Silkman for life.  It's not easy to score your clubs first league goal; and in a hundred years time they will still be talking about it."

"Gillingham drew today and they may go down.  The manager there has told me that I'm not in his plans.  We'll just have to see what happens now.  I still have an 18 month contract there so its upto Bury or any other club to come in.It would be nice to stay here at Bury, but for Gillingham and me, that's history."

"I'm a young man and I'm fit as a butcher's dog.  I'll keep on playing until I find that players like Elliott Bennett can run past me, but for now, he can't catch me and I will keep on going."
