Style for all seasons pleases new manager - The Messenger - Thu, 28 September 1995:
STAN TERNENT is determined to push ahead with his passing revolution at Gigg Lane. Bury's new boss is ready to deregulate the style of play to allow more freedom of expression and the signs of a new beginning were there for all to see on Saturday. "We tried to pass the ball a little bit more today and that is something I intend to encourage," declared Ternent. "That is what the supporters want to see and we'll get there eventually. Even though we didn't manage to win I think we made some progress and the fans have gone home a little happier. "There is no reason the players can't adapt to a different style of play, I thought we played extremely well in the first half but their keeper was inspired. "We passed the ball around well without getting our just rewards. We kept a clean sheet, and that is pleasing, and we have something on which to build. "Sometimes when you are at home and not been winning, the players get a little anxious but I thought today that they kept their shape and kept pegging away. We created numerous chances and were unfortunate that one or two didn't go in." Barnet keeper Maik Taylor was the reason the Shakers didn't collect the three points which they deserved and he earned some high praise from the man who discovered him playing in the army, Ray Clemence. "Maik has one or two rough edges but has all the attributes to go right to the very top," declared the former England number one, now manager at Barnet. "He made a couple of saves that were world class, let alone Third Division standard. The rest of the team also stood up to be counted."
