Casper takes the blame

Bury boss Chris Casper has admitted that he holds himself responsible for the club's slide towards the relegation zone.
The Shakers are only one point above the bottom two after a 1-0 home defeat to Notts County extended their dismal winless sequence to 16 matches in a run stretching back to mid-December.
A devastated Casper admitted: "I'm hurting. There's only so much I can do. I'll take responsibility. It's my team that I pick.
"But the players who are picked have got to stand forward now and show their true character. They're playing for their careers now. We're all doing that.
"They're playing for their mortgages and the clothes on their back and their future contracts."
