If you could win the league by making the most passes out of play to the Main Stand, then Barnet are champs. This was a result of us pressing them all the time and forcing the errors. That and tiredness on their part.
Barnet were very poor. I do not think that they had a good shot on target in open play all game?
Before the game we discussed how many of their players would wear gloves. Answer "none", bar the keeper. All their players wore short-sleeve shirts with no other visible warm tops (unlike some of our players). If they wanted to play kidology regarding the view of "southern softies", then it did not help them. Some of their fans commented when first arriving at the ground as to how bitter cold it was. I am sure their players felt the same. They were not up for it. They may go on a slump now. ....................... We were excellent all game. (Apparently the game is shown again on BT Sports tomorrow (Sun) at 0900 hrs. Magnay is magnificent. He is also impererious. Like Bobby Moore used to, he always has enough time even if he is not favourite to get to it. One-on-one in a very dangerous position, he gets the ball and stops the danger. All calmly with no fuss. He personally thanked the fans after the game in a very encouraging way.
"Andy Carroll" was also the difference up front. He even has the same pony-tail. Palmer works harder and is better at holding the ball up. .................... The fans played their part today. PH said that the players could hear them before the game. The Pontoon were in good voice. Must be down to those new flags. It is possible that the fans generally were more up for it than the Lincoln game. This could be because the fanbase was only true supporters today. The atmosphere was not tainted by many non-regulars who are reluctant to give vocal support.
PH could still find a negative. On RH afterwards he said that it would be the same group of players whatever position we finished. He did mention 1st, but also mentioned finishing 16th. He is allowed to be PH today. (He also gave the impression that he want to field a strong team at Gateshead, if the game is on).
Thought all the team deserve credit for the energy and effort they all put in.My mom has got to go to Arnold.A livewire and a constant threat.Special mention also to Palmer and Lenny.Liked also how Magnay broke up things and got his foot in
My men of the match- Lennie, Palmer, Magnay and Arnold. But, there were no bad players today at all.
