SPECULATION is still rife about whether Bury will be rescued from financial oblivion, but it's work as usual for player/ manager Andy Preece who welcomes Brentford to Gigg Lane.

The Shakers, after an outstanding start to the season, are looking for their first win in nine games to move them back towards the top of the table.

Recent life has not been easy for the Bees and this week Chairman Ron Noades sacked himself as team manager with Ray Lewington taking temporary charge following their elimination from the FA Cup to non league opposition.

Though Preece has changed his formation to a 3-4-3 line-up in recent games, it has still not produced a win but he is unlikely to abandon a style which has looked more attractive than in

earlier encounters.

Strikers Paul Barnes and Baichung Bhutia will be anxious to get their names on the scoresheet and so retain their places in the team.
