"Playing Lincoln will bring back good memories for me, I had three good years there but that's all well in the past now.  Now it's about getting three points for Bury.  It's the next three points for us and that's what we have to concentrate on."

"I had three great years there; we got to two play off finals and one semi final so it was a brilliant time but all good things come to an end and we've moved on.  They struggled a little bit last year but have come back this year with a good squad.  I'm sure that they will be going for a top three finish this season."

"I will always have a good affection for Lincoln after what happened there and I always look out for their results, but its all in the past, it was quite a few years ago now, now we are just focussing on getting three points come Saturday."

"I know a couple of the lads that are there, there has been a lot of turn around in players there since I left."

"We have had a good start, eleven points from five games speaks for itself, but it's only the start.  Five games is nothing from a 46 game season.  We know that we have a lot of hard work to do and there is a lot of hard work to come.  We just have to focus on every game and make sure that everyone is at it and take it from there."

"It's been quite good with the partnership with Efe Sodje.  We've been playing together since he came to the club and we seem to work well together, and touch wood we've not lost too many games when we have been playing.  I enjoy playing alongside Efe and we've both been in decent form and hopefully that can continue."

"In a way we compliment each other and now and then you come across these type of partnerships where you do get thrown in together and you work well together.  That's what seems to have happened here and long may it continue."

"I'm enjoying it at the moment, but to be fair, you do enjoy it more when you are winning games.  Everyone has got a smile on their faces and as long as we keep winning then it will continue."

"The last two away games we've come away with a point.  The reaction for me has been mixed.  Your always happy to come away form home undefeated, but we felt that there was a chance to maybe get the victory in one of the games, especially after going ahead at Rochdale, then we were disappointing in the first half at Chester, but we are still undefeated."

"For away games, no matter who you play, it will always be difficult but we come back home still undefeated and a couple of points, so you can't be too disappointed about it.  Win at home and draw away is apparently the recipe for success, if you can get them ingredients then you have a chance.  Its early doors yet but we need to make sure we keep our home form going, which has been good since the gaffer came to the club but we will be going all out for a win again on Saturday."
