Barnet Match Thread..........

Agree with Redash, we looked the more likely team even when down to 10. However, until Craney came on we seemed to lack bite up front. Generally we had a smaller forward line than their defenders yet crosses were continually aerial instead of on the carpet. Our defence however were immense and I thought Hessey was magnificent today. Ref loved his whistle and the card count was ridiculous for what was not that sort of game. Pity about the suspensions but at least it tests the squad.

Pity we didn't get Jason Price instead of Jim Bentley picking him up for Morecambe. A bigger, stronger, experienced version of Guthrie.
 
A good side out and a well earned point in the circumstances. Personally did think Lo was a sending off offence but happy with a point.
 
Just listened to Coley and his thoughts about Saturday, he is really gutted that we did not win!!! Of the things he talks of, scoring goals is the one thing that I must agree with him on!!!!

Some good stuff on Barnet's messageboard. Most think we should have won. I'll bet there were a few renditions of "You dirty Northern PLAYERS" - is that OK, Mel?:D

No renditions worth noting from Barnet fans - but the Ultras were giving them "WE'RE dirty Northern players" (if you say so Redraine) at full volume.

First game I've seen this season and was surprised by our No 1 attacking tactic, which was basically over the top towards the corners for Fletcher and Amond to run onto to - which they did well but then weren't able to find one another with a killer cross. Thought Coid was immense in support of the attack, really strong on the ball. Defence looked solid but there was a moment late on when Long, Winnard and Hessey were all giving Murdoch stick at once - for not calling I think ??

Didn't see what Barnett did but the instant crowd reaction meant I wasn't surprised by the colour of the card. Long's was stonewall last man for me, and led to a horribly nervous 30 seconds waiting for the (happily hopeless) last free kick.

Craney did well to work two good shooting positions late on but should have done better with the shots.

Barnet were simply hopeless ......

And I'm sure there were more than 48 of us.

Aparently Nat Taylor is suspended for us ?? :S

Telegraph have an article about Nat's suspension which as Sparkie said is due to him beng sent off in a game for Accy College last season. He has to serve a 35 day ban which kicked in on 29th August.
Course, Flanagan in his story tries to sensationalise it a bit saying the ban 'has echoes of the drama surrounding Ray Putterill's ban last season' - not really, as this time we knew about it & so isn't going to cause the same sort of problems
 
Don't understand why Jacobson's ban is still on there (under our name). Surely he's served that by now .............? Don't remember seeing it when I looked up Izale McLeod's ban last week .................

He's not only served it but he's played every game since and won MotM when the Shrews dumped Swansea out of the Carling Cup.
