Torquay's 2nd half shooting has been terrible considering the positions they were in

FT: Barnet 2 Torquay 3. Marvellous. Nice to see Martin Allen looking a little riled too.

Full Time    Barnet 2 Torquay 3

Quoted from KingstonMariner

It was me, and I am relieved that it's now only down to 3 of them. But still nothing to get carried away about.

Gateshead-Lincoln could easily have gone Heed's way. We only scored 1 so could easily have dropped 2 points at the death. FGR could easily have picked up 2 more.

Mathematically Gateshead and Woking could realistically overtake us and Torquay could just about with 2 massive wins. Even I don't think Rovers could though!

No getting carried away here. Would you say we have a good chance of the play offs or would you still say we've an "outside" chance?

Also, you can't really say that tight games are a reason to dismiss Town's chances. It works both ways. There have been games for us this season where a bit more luck could easily have seen us get more points. As it stands, FGR and Gateshead dropped points tonight, we didn't. Regardless of the manner of the games. We're on a great run of form and with a bit of lucky injury wise there is no reason to think we can't sustain it.

Thank you gulls! Barnet lose

It's in our hands now. If we win every game we'll go up!  

I'm certainly getting carried away 10 years of dogsh@t atleast i have something to shout about whilst i can.  

Three very good points after a bad cup defeat.  All rivals dropped points so an excellent night.  Looking at Barnets next half a dozen games I wouldn't be surprised if this is the start of their 'bad spell'.  Here's hoping

I'm still not confident. We've been on good runs before at this time of year. In fact it's become a habit. Last year we staggered into the playoffs - this year the competition is tighter. Never underestimate Hurt's ability to mess around in the New Year and muck things up.

My appraisal isn't based on one tight game. It's based on years of games. And there simply isn't the buzz around which you get when we're on a promotion campaign - you can call that gut reaction. You can call it experience.

True, this is now traditionally the time of the year where everyone has their hopes raised. But I personally feel that, certainly in terms of personnel, we have a better team than the last two years and we weren't a millions miles away then. We're not always convincing but from what I've seen of other teams and from their results, nobody else seems to be either.
