MANAGER David Flitcroft has urged football fans to sample the new Bury brand after the Shakers hit the League Two summit.

Saturday's top-of-the-table clash lured a crowd of 4,536 to the JD Stadium - almost 2,000 more than for the midweek win over Stevenage - and they witnessed a tight first half against Burton, who were the early-season pacesetters.

But the game burst into life after the break as half-time substitute Danny Nardiello broke the deadlock within three minutes of the restart.

The Shakers then turned on the style, with Ryan Lowe doubling their lead on 57 minutes before Nardiello sealed victory nine minutes later.

And Burton sub Jacob Blyth's 88th-minute consolation goal failed to deflate the buoyant mood amongst the Bury faithful.

"As a club we've worked hard to get people down here and once we do that I believe we'll captivate them," said Flitcroft.

"We've played the right way. If we played direct from back to front (long ball) then people might come for a couple of games. But the game's moved on now.

"To build a legacy, to build something with longevity, I believe we've got to build a brand - and we're trying to do that on the pitch and off it.

"There's a project here and we've got to let people know what's going on. We're driving business and we're driving people to the stadium, which is matching the work we're doing on the pitch.

"These players deserve to play in front of (attendances of) 5,000 or 5,500 with the bravery they're showing in the way we play, with the slick passing, playing out from the back and accepting the ball under pressure. It's something I'm demanding them to do."

Burton came into the game two points clear and might have taken an early lead as Robbie Weir dragged a shot wide before Bury centre-half Pablo Mills headed over following a short corner.

Burton, playing 4-1-4-1 against Bury's 3-4-3, then sat in and allowed the Shakers to have the bulk of possession, although they were struggling to create clear openings.

One of the few fell for Tom Soares after Rose drove the ball into the danger zone but the midfielder failed to turn it goalwards from close range.

Burton replied with Callum McFadzean blazing over, but Bury began to find space before half-time, with Nicky Adams and Craig Jones firing wide.

And the Shakers caught Burton cold after the break as Danny Mayor drifted inside and ran at the Burton defence before hitting a low ball across the box and Nardiello was in the right place to turn in the opener.

Lowe then had a shot blocked after bringing it down at the far post before two bizarre goals gave them all three points.

Burton boss Gary Rowett claimed they were individual errors. They were, but Bury's pressure forced Burton into making them.

Weir's tackle on Adams looped between a defender and the keeper and Lowe reacted quickest to poke in from six yards.

Nardiello then bundled in Bury's third as Shane Cansdell-Sherriff's backpass went wide of keeper Jon McLaughlin.

He later denied Nardiello a hat-trick, while Mayor and sub Duane Holmes also went close, but Burton sub Jacob Blyth headed home from Stuart Beavon's cross to deny Bury a clean sheet.

"With Burton parking the bus and dropping so deep, you're going to have a wrestle, it's going to be a game of chess," Flitcroft added.

"That's what it was like in the first half. But there was only one team who wanted to win the game.

"We tried to probe but it wasn't really a game for Danny Rose because there was no space for him in behind.

"Second half we changed the structure. Danny Nardiello loves working in tight spaces and can make goals for himself.

"And second half we were outstanding. We could have scored every time we attacked them. I don't believe it was down to individual errors.

"I saw a special team produce top quality football. People talk about us winning but I'm also enjoying the product."

Star man: Nicky Adams - Given a free role in the centre, Adams provided a vital link between the midfield and the front two. Bury struggled to break Burton down in the first half but with Adams constantly probing and asking questions of the visiting defence, they wilted after the break and the Shakers threatened to run riot.
