Casper On The Edge

Bury boss Chris Casper is three weeks away from the sack, after failing to record a home win in 2007.

The Shakers have now gone 16 games without a win at home since beating Stockport last December, and the club are sitting in the relegation zone. Keith Alexander's appointment as Director of Football in the summer was seen by many as the first nail in Casper's coffin, but Alexander has denied that he is eyeing up the main job.

"Everyone is concerned regarding our home form, but the statistics don't lie," said director, Ian Harrop to the Bury Times: "The manager, director of football and board realise that we need to start winning our home games. The performances in two or three of the games have been good, but we haven't held on for the result, and it is a results business. We had a meeting the other night and came out of it feeling very positive. Everyone knows now that our results must improve over the next three or four games."

Bury face Dagenham and Accrington in the next two games, with at least one win expected, before a tricky game at home to Alexander's former club Lincoln.
