Some really good things today, some not so clever.

We won.
Rachubka who still does not inspire confidence, pulled of a good save in the second half, and caught his fair share of crosses. An improvement from him.
Winnard handled alot of there direct balls well and lead the defence.
Aldred had a better game than usual.
Molyneux took his goals well but was also solid defensivly.
Boco kept Barnet busy while he was out on the wing and gave Murphy plenty of help. Boco was also effective in his role as the first line of defence from corners.
Jeffers played very well, he chased down, his first touch was good. He made a few runs which our midfield did not spot and I can see him getting frustrated as his footbaling brain clearly works faster than some of his team mates.
Hatfield kept himself busy and worked hard for the team. Not the most gifted player but in this kind of match I can see where he offers the team much needed legs.
The half time Norwegians made me smile.

The not so good,
I am a Murphy fan but I thought he was poor today and the weakpoint in our defence, his positional play was terrible at times.
the timing of the jeffers subsititution was to soon, Jeffers was causing them problems and could have stayed on longer. Gray didnt offer anything when he came on.
The Lindfield sub unless Hatfield was injured was the wrong call, craig had a poor game on the right of midfield and offered nothing.
I am not convinced the defensive midfield duo of Linganzi and Joyce is the long term answer, not enough offered going forward and neither seemed willing to put their foot on the ball and make things happen. The lack of playmaker is a concern.

On the whole ,I felt Barnet deserved a point.
They where the better team in the second half by some distance, our midfielders stopped running beyond the striker and it was clear at times we where trying to see the game out.
We had no one in the team who could put there foot on the ball and make things happen.
I also felt sorry for Edgar Davids who at times was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch, not a sending off by all accounts.

A welcome 3 points but not a convincing display.
