BURY boss Stan Ternent is on the verge of having the luxury of a full strength squad for the hectic promotion run-in.

Striker Mark Carter showed no reaction to a hamstring strain following a reserve outing seven days ago and plays again tomorrow night away at Carlisle reserves.

Bury's only other injury victim, John Paskin, is just a fortnight away from an 'A' team outing following an operation on a damaged achilles tendon and could be back in contention for his first senior involvement of the season in a month. Their return to full fitness would give Ternent the competition for places up front which has been lacking in recent months when he only had Phil Stant and David Johnson to chose from before the ambitious £100,000 capture of Rob Matthews from York last week.

Bury's Third Division away fixture at Rochdale has been re-arranged for Tuesday, February 13 (kick off 7.30pm).
