WHEN a team finishes on terms after twice hitting the woodwork of their opponents' goal it might be thought they were unlucky not to win, but Bury can be grateful for the point they got in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United at Gigg Lane on Saturday.
The Londoners were the more polished side, Bury again being very poor in attack.
Clearly the Shakers are going to find their first win long-delayed unless they develop a little more combined skill up front.
From the Bury Times of Friday September 2, 1977
DEFENDER Tony Bailey will keep the number six shirt for tomorrow's Third Division game against Sheffield Wednesday as skipper Dave Hatton is forced to sit on the sidelines.
Hatton left the field at Oxford on Wednesday in the 39th minute with a pulled thigh muscle and Bailey proved once again what an able deputy he is as the Shakers went on to draw 1-1.
