Barker waiting on Picken

06 May 2011 11:00
Bury caretaker boss Richie Barker will assess the fitness of defender Phil Picken ahead of the trip to Stevenage. The right-back is bidding to shake off a hamstring strain and will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness. Striker Andy Bishop is still missing as he continues to recover from knee surgery but Barker has no other suspensions or injury concerns as his side bid to snatch the title from under the noses of Chesterfield. A defeat for the Spireites at home to Gillingham, coupled with a win for his own side, could yet see the Gigg Lane outfit crowned champions. Barker said: "We can still win the league and it is important we go about things the right way."
