We should have held out - Bartlett

Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester after yesterday's game, keeper Adam Bartlett was disappointed the Bulls came away with just one point.

"Disappointed to come away with the one point when we should have held out," said Bartlett.

"The goal in injury time deflated the lads a little bit."

Asked by Keith Hall about the penalty Barts revealed he had done his homework on Bury.

"When he (Bishop) stepped up I had a little look and Ryan Valentine knew from previous clubs he likes to wait and have a little look at the goalkeeper. I held my ground and luckily guessed the right way.

"It was a good performance from the lads. They worked their socks off from the front to the back. Going down to ten men when Kenny got sent off made it even tougher."

What about Bury's disallowed goal?

"They didn't wait for the whistle. The referee was just leaving where the free-kick was being taken from. It was a little bit of fortune for us.

"But to be fair to the referee he had said it had to be taken on the whistle which it wasn't.

"They put us under a lot of pressure. They bomb-barded us for the last twenty minutes.

"It's a shame we couldn't hold out because it would have been a big three points for us."
