SHAKERS 2, SCUNTHORPE UNITED 3: THREE games and three defeats have left Bury manager Andy Preece calling for more concentration from his team.
Last Saturday's 4-2 defeat at Swansea City was followed by an unlucky 1-0 Carling Cup reverse at Second Division Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday night, then Scunthorpe came to Gigg on Saturday - and won 3-2.
Two goals from Torpey and a third from Peter Beagrie kept Scunthorpe head although Porter initially gained a first equaliser and Preece launched a late fightback with the second.
The Iron, managed by Brian Laws, also got their season off to a bad start with a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol Rovers on the opening day.
However, they bounced back by knocking crisis-club Oldham Athletic out of the Carling Cup in midweek courtesy of a 2-1 victory at Glanford Park.
They, like the Shakers, lost out at the first hurdle in the Third Division promotion play-offs last season and have high hopes of going up at the end of the season.
