3 things we learned from Bolton Wanderers v Bury

Valuable point for Lee Clark’s Bury

By contrast, Bury and their 1,552 travelling supporters who had made the short journey, left the Macron Stadium knowing that survival could well be achieved with a victory at home to Northampton Town on Saturday, should other results go in their favour.

The Shakers dealt with Bolton well throughout the first-half, before weathering the inevitable onslaught that came their way deep into the following period, to earn a fine point which could prove vital, with only two matches of the season remaining.

Clark’s strugglers, who are perched just above the bottom four, came into the all-Greater Manchester contest off the back of three straight defeats, so to put in a resolute, industrious display in which they did, is a welcomed boost for the men from Gigg Lane.
