Stat Attack: Notts County hoping for third consecutive victory over Bury

Head to head

Notts County have met Bury 117 times over the years, with the Magpies winning 43 of the encounters, drawing 28, and losing 46.

Notts met Bury for the first time on November 24th, 1894 with County running out 2-1 victors.

History

Their “Shakers” nickname was derived from a teamtalk given by manager JT Ingham in 1892.

They are the only club currently in League Two, other than Notts, to win the FA Cup.

Bury are 11-time winners of the Lancashire Senior Cup.

Their current manager, Ryan Lowe, set the club record for consecutive goals scored with 10 goals scored in 9 games during the 2010-11 season.

Team News

Notts will still be without Rob Milsom, who is serving the second of his three-match ban.

Ben Hall and Richard Duffy are still out injured with the former returning to Brighton a few weeks ago to have treatment.

Bury’s only injury concern is Eoghan O’Connell who’s fitness will be checked before the game against Notts.
