“We’ve got a lot of work to do but these players are driven to keep pushing,” the Bury boss added.

After securing a vital win against 2nd-placed rivals on Tuesday, the now have a game in hand over Wanderers with four points separating the two clubs.

“We want to keep applying pressure to the top teams, it’s something we’ve done fantastically well,” Flitcroft stated, having guided his side to eight wins out of their last ten including victories in all of their recent away fixtures.

“All we can do is our business. Whatever happens at any ground we can’t be affected, so we’re focusing on us.”
