TONY Ellis plays a waiting game as Bury boss Stan Ternent struggles with the dilemma of whether to change a successful team.

Striker Ellis was on a scoring streak before suspension ruled him out of the last two matches.

But Bury's impressive return of four points from six in his absence and his replacement Rob Matthews' quality performances gives Ternent a major headache ahead of tomorrow's home clash with Norwich City.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do," admitted Ternent.

"It's good to have nearly everyone fit and no suspensions but what to do up front is a difficult one because Rob has done very well in the two games Tony missed against Swindown and Portsmouth."

Bury aim to extend their unbeaten record to nine matches against a Norwich side who will be dragged into the relegation mire by a defeat tomorrow.

"We have got to beat them," said Ternent. "The situation at the bottom means we've got to be getting something out of every game at the moment.

"The players are doing well at the moment and are difficult to beat. Another three wins may be enough to keep us up but I would prefer four which should make it sure."

Norwich have a doubt over striker Robert Fleck, who has a dead leg, central defender Victor Segura is suspended so Craig Fleming may come in to partner Matt Jackson.
