Just back

Good performance today but i thought chester were poor..

Lets see what tuesday brings and i am not getting carried away..

We have had good results then flattered to decieve so unlike others im not going to say we are better than last season after a 3-0 win against a poor chester team but its going in the right direction...

Lets see if they can carry it on..

Well done to the team.

Quoted from friskneymariner

It was apparent from todays game that we are much improved from last season, Magnay, Clay, Brown and Neilson must be some of the best players in this league, we have nothing to fear in this league.We look a different class when we hold a high line and play with pace ,the only time Chester looked like getting into the game was after their substitutions and we sat back until we figured them out.A very professional display today and shows what we can do when we pass the ball to feet.

We now have to show how we fare against a side of spoilers . Chester came to play football , we  matched them , but for two really poor efforts in the first half they could have scored 2 .

Still work in progress , but getting there . We aren't a bad side , think Barnet will be hard to catch , so really it's just up to us to keep winning .

Chester were poor. I couldn't believe how poor to be fair.

A very good team performance.  Solid first half, then stepped up in the second half. We could have had more goals.  

Neilson was hard for them to handle and tracked back on a frequent basis. Clay was excellent and dovetails well with Brown. We have a good midfield now, and Dlsley and Paddy did not start.

We played some intricate passing moves with only the final ball in the last third letting us down.

We even scored from a corner!

I thought Mackreth was more confident lively and involved than in other games.  Still more to come from him I think.  

A very enjoyable game that should also (hopefully) be a baseline for future good results.  

Barnet will have a sticky patch soon - maybe a clutch of injuries or suspensions or a couple of pieces of bad luck, so we must be poised to capitalise when that happens. I agree they'll be hard to catch and they really do have a handsome lead, but it's imperative, on this basis, that we take another 3 points on Tuesday night at home, and do the same against Altrincham at home the week after. If we can show ruthlessness, there's no reason why we shouldn't claim the next 9 available points. Do so, and we'll be in or around the play off places going into mid October.

Incidentally, Barnet face some forthcoming difficult fixtures. They're away at Braintree on Tuesday night, followed by Eastleigh at home next weekend, then Macclesfield (A), Kidderminster (H) and Gateshead (A). We can claw points back.

Just back...from the beer fest in celebration......Chester were fuck1n awful.......second half especially we were fantastic...worked hard to close them down, Clay and Brown dominated...Magnay looked composed...Parslow looked like he had played for us for years and Ross worked really hard, should have had a hat trick in reality.
For once i would mention the away support....gave great support up until around 70 mins when i think even they realised their team are sh1t and gave up, put us to shame in that respect.

Cant see what Makreth brings to the party and not the first time i have thought that, tougher times ahead no doubt but quite happy this evening. x

Barnet are 9 points ahead with 102 left to play for. If we can keep everyone fit and stay consistent (big ask I know) I see no reason why we can't win the league.





(Cue drab 0-0 draw on Tuesday night )

isnt that what  Tony ford used to do

Yes, but he could outpace with ease the majority of players he came up against, unfortunately McKreth isn't that quick

Good point about a high line.
Little dropping deep, think we did quite well on this front.
Pass the ball to feet yes, although I'd say this was more 1st half than 2nd ?

A fair observation IMO.
Keep working hard, passing the ball and doing the things that worked yesterday, can't see any reason to be unduly worried.
