BURY midfielder Brian Barry-Murphy faces a late fitness test to see if he can figure in the home clash with Hereford. The 28-year-old playmaker suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Hartlepool.
Shakers boss Chris Casper has come to the Irishman's defence after rumours that he was about to leave Gigg Lane. "Brian's not going anywhere," Casper said. "He hasn't been in the team for much of the season, but we spoke about whether he'd like the opportunity to get first-team football elsewhere and he said `no,' and that he wanted to fight for his place. He's going to get better and better and I'm pleased he made the decision to stay because you never want to lose a quality player like him. He's got his chance now and it's up to him."
Key opponent: Tamika Mkandawire - A rock for the Bulls
Prediction: Bury 2 Hereford 1 - It should be a close game but the Shakers are due a win.
