Stanley fan punches air at Christie park
 

Best part of the afternoon, for me, was when they announced the score from Wycombe. A bemused steward gave me an odd smile as I walked out amongst Barnet fans punching the air, but I got a big grin when I said, "Good old Stanley." :D

Was actually a good afternoon, the Barnet fans made a huge "welcome to the League" banner, and the Morecambe tannoy mentioned Wembley once or twice.

The teams, I wish them both well, but they wouldn't have scored if they were still playing (Blinkhorn and Grazioli both out injured). Morecambe haven't changed much, Twiss may be half a stone lighter but he's a bit older, Baker has skill but his final ball doesn't cut the mustard, plus he tires. Neil Bishop stood out for Barnet, and for a player with no pace whatsoever does the business and protects his back four, plus prompting attacks.

I suspect neither team has strength in depth, and will struggle.

I hope you sampled a crusty pie while you were there Oggy ;)

They were available in Lancaster, where Hilda was shopping. But I'm more of a Fish 'n' Chips man, as is Morecambe's left back, by looks. Made Alan Rogers look subtle, two feet straight in from behind, yellow card, very lucky.

All in slow motion, though. Two good Conference teams. :)

its all about putting a few points on the board at this stage of the season.

Barnet are a "bogey" team to us and a draw was a fair result.

When Thompson and Blinkhorn are fully fit the goals will come.

90 minutes in and they're panicking already!!!

finding all the excuses!



good luck Morecambe though, I hope sincerely that you score a total of six points less than us.

played Barnet in 8 league games since 2001 and had only won 1.

I think we will be ok once all the hullaballoo dies down.
