Re: Barnet Thread
Another strong performance from Stanley, fully deserved the points. BBC stats about % possession and shots on/ off goal seem rather dubious. First half Stanley totally bossed things and 'forced' the own goal, but then let Barnet back in with a well taken equaliser. Second half more competitive but Stanley were far superior in ball control and passing. Barnet couldn't hold onto the ball, either from Stanley's pressing or ineptitude. Winner from Mr.McConville was a beauty from a narrow angle, from the right hand side of the box, past the goalie's outstretched hands, and in off the far post.
Biggest impact on the game from Barnet was from their groundsmen - no- one could stay on their feet. The pitch looked good but played like an ice- rink at times. Worrying that some Stanley players didn't appear to change their boots at half time - Mr.Windass missed two good opportunities in both halves by slipping. But he wasn't the only one.
Mohamed came on for Piero and Gornell for Windass. Stanley lost a little of their composure in last ten minutes as Barnet pressed, somewhat desperately.
But lots of good performances at the back again. Mr.Crooks was all over them in the first half and another big-hearted battling performance from Mr.Kee.
Well done to all in the team.
