Somebody start a match thread........

I will ask my Maths colleague tomorrow how it is possible that the possession could be 63-37% in Barnet's favour after 33 mins, yet 60-40 in ours 15 minutes later. I wasn't aware that Underhill lay atop a fissure in the time space continuum.
 
listening on Barnet radio and keep referring to the King of Benin as Rocky Bomo which sounds a great stage name to me!
 
To be honest I was gutted we only drew.Although they had a bit of possession in the first half,I can't recall our keeper making a save.
I won't waste my time talking about the linesman,as it was obvious he backed a draw on the coupon.
Acci started off in there normal system,but held a higher line than normal and the fullbacks tucked in a little more.
They played a 4-1-2-3 system with two wingers,and although we give them the width,our defending was solid with no gaps,and any crosses were easily dealt with.
We should have scored more really,with two disallowed goals and two good chances.
Positives from the performance were the centre backs,who were positive all night and the attacking three of hadfield,boco and in particular Gray who impressed me.
Although he had a quite first half,thought Miller ran the game in the second,just think how good he could be with a season under his belt!
Liam seems to made us a lot tighter,were Cook tried to open the game up.
He was a class defender in his time and hopefully it rubs off on our lads,I can already see little changes,which suggests he knows what he's doing.
 
No mention of Beattie's debut F19? I rate Amond 100% for selfless effort but Beattie produced more threat in 15 mins than Paddy in 90. Of course it's yet to be seen if he can go more than 15 .... Romy mom for me, just a touch more class (most of the time).

I've refereed many games in my time and I hate to criticise officials because it isn't a particularly easy job but I am sick to death of them thinking that we pay our money to watch them. I don't know for sure, but the indication for the retake of the penalty was that Bavs came off his line too soon. Well, in that case I expect to see every penalty in every game of every league retaken. Ok, letter of the law says it was a retake but reality is a different thing. The dumpy little liner that was running the touchline in front of us wanted no more than to be the centre of attention and seemed to be contending with the ref for 'pr!ck-of-the-match' award (apologies if that language is deemed inappropriate; I don't wish to offend). I am just so frustrated. We weren't at our best and our possession in the first half gave me cause for concern but that was down to the slope. Thankfully we will never have to play at Underhill again; the league should have banned their entry from the Conference. The second half was exactly the opposite and we deserved more than we got. Rant over...for now!
 
Can't disagree chimer,rommy was class all night,quick,good feet and a great work ethic,Gray was also good and Hatfield in the number ten role give everything.That bloody slope tho contributes a lot how games pan out there,and the first half they had a real go and we should be talking about our effort not the officials.
Paddy never stopped running,but there centre backs were just too big and fast for him,were Beattie unsettled them just by his presence.
Maybe paddy can challenge Will for the number ten role as an option,just a thought
