But Laws was quick to acknowledge that the result left the club even further adrift of the top seven, but gave some hope for the future with the impact made by the three new players.
He said: "It has been the tale of our season, too many draws.
"Today was a difficult game, I knew from the start it was going to be from bringing three new players in.
"I think those three did very well, they all had decent debuts and did nothing wrong. Certainly there is more to come from them.
"The endeavour was there from the players, they were committed to each other and the team but they just couldn't find that killer pass."
Paul Hayes was named on the bench and came on to play a part in the game despite an ankle injury, and Laws insisted that he would have prefered to rest him completely.
He said: "He has only just got back on the training field and it is heavily strapped up. I've got to think about long-term"
The short-term sees two cup visits, to Sheffield Wednesday in the LDV Vans Trophy and Portsmouth in the FA Cup, and midfielder Matty Sparrow could miss both after picking up a back injury today - he is definately out of Tuesday's trip to Hillsbrough.
In the long-term though Laws is fully aware that the side will need to win the vast majority of the remaining league fixtures if they are to reach the end of season play-offs once more.
He added: "I think we have got to win a minimum of ten games to give us a chance, and draw the rest.
"We need a hell of a run of winning games to get back in the play-offs."
Bury manager Graham Barrow was substantially more pleased with the outcome of the game.
He said: "I was pleased with the performance and commitment, it's never easy against Scunthorpe.
"But we have a fair account of ourselves and showed a lot of spirit and passion."
