No easy games in this division - Law

Last updated : 23 October 2009 By Bigrich.....
Firstly, Nicky looks towards tomorrow clash against former Millers boss Alan Knill's Bury; "Bury are one of those teams you would have wanted at the start of the season when they weren't doing so well, Obviously now they've picked up again but you're not going to go anywhere in this league and get an easy game."

"We know we're as good as anyone in the division so we'll go there and attack and look for three points. As for Notts County, if they're not in the top three, they'll buy players in January to get into the top three. Realistically, you have to think it will be them and two others for automatic promotion and we want that to be us. We've showed we can be there."

"They have players who are too good for this league but I think we showed them a bit too much respect at the start. After half time we got amongst them better and I think it showed."

"I have to say, they passed the ball well and the formation they play makes it tough for you. We knew beforehand that they were going to keep the ball for long periods. They're good at what they do and in the first half especially we found it tough. We matched them up in the second in the midfield but us going down to ten messed up our game plan a bit."

"We defended well. There were a couple of close calls at the end but I think that with our workrate, we deserved a point. Importantly, the draw keeps the distance between us and Notts in the table and keeps us close to the top."

"The emotions of that draw and the one a fortnight ago against Hereford were so different. That point felt like a defeat. Everyone was devastated. Saturday felt more like a victory because of the ten men and the opposition."

Law admits his own form has taken a dip and he is aiming to rectify that; "From the Morecambe game, I picked up a bit of a freak injury and that messed me up for a couple of weeks. It was tough to get back into the rhythm with missing training but I thought I was a lot better in the second half last Saturday."

"Now I want to push on and get back to where I was. Form plays on your mind. You want to play well every match but you can't do that. You just have to work your hardest and then hopefully the performances will follow."

Boss Ronnie Moore agreed; "Nicky needs to give us a little bit more when he plays wide. He should be coming inside and not always going down the line. Against Notts, he showed us what he is capable of playing centrally."
