It looks like Barnet's new manager will be Mad Dog Martin Allen. Don't be surprised if they go on a run if that's the case. This could be bad news for us. This would be Allen's FIFTH time he's been appointed Barnet manager!

Sacking that clown can only be bad news for other clubs (see Newport 12 months ago). Unless they replace him with Russell Slade, of course.

Martin Allen. Now there's a Manager who's a "firefighter" and goes in and gets a reaction. Another cause for concern.

Did he apply or was he on the non chairmans radar when we reluctantly let Slade go?

Bollox!!! I that's the last thing we needed! He knows the club and knows how to get them winning again. This is very, very very bad news for us I fear!
I would say I'm surprised they've took him back on after he ditched them to chase the money (Eastleigh was it?) but desperate times.....

Well let's hope it ends the same way as the last club that took back a manager that ditched them to chase the money !!! |

They are in the same position as us.
There side is excrement and Allen won't save them.
They will finish bottom.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Let’s look on the bright side, maybe Barnet can take something from the last game against Chesterfield now. Before today I was certainly thinking that was a guaranteed 3 points for Chesterfield.

Sadly, i think Barnet have better players than us and will pick up. Whether it's enough, i don't know. What i do know is that GTFC invariably make the wrong choices and don't do miracle escapes. I'm fully expecting us to get relegated, because that is what we do. |

Akinde at Barnet and Dennis at chesterfield are the reasons we are in trouble now- we don't have any goal scorers and our top scorer is warming the bench at Shrewsbury.
What Slade did is utter flipping madness- I only regret that Matt Dean has not had the chance to interview him since he left and establish why he took our squad to pieces.
I really see us going down- there is no team spirit, no fight and the team are emotionally fragile- 8 crazy minutes at Lincoln where at least two goals were preventable by either proper defending or the 6 town players on the edge of the box running in and putting themselves on the line - instead they stood, walked and farted around ball watching.
I don't know how these guys expect to work again in the football league- genuinely- and I can't see how we re going to get points. The team talk for opposing managers is easy, do what you can to score an early goal and the chances are they'll cave in.
The team changes every week, we re now reduced to desperate signings of unattached players. I would really prefer to have Barry Conlon to any of our current strikers, we have no midfield and one decent centre back. I like Jolley, like his appointment but I m sure that Allen at Barnet will get more fight in the first minute of a game than the players are providing for MJ.

You could tell MJ was seething on Saturday - he's in a right flipping position too as he probably wants to give the hairdryer to a number of those guys but because they re all he has he can't

I agree with TAGG. Barnet are stuffed and Martin Allen is crackers.

Which highlights once again the foolishness of the board. A rallying call backing Slade to the hilt, saying they would invest in good players in the transfer window. That sounded a good strategy, we were comfortably in mid table and that was probably the correct thing to do. Of course it was all talk and instead of investing in the team they sold or gave away our better players. What they really wanted to say but daren't was that "we think we are safe this season, so we are going to start cutting back to give us more leeway for next season." Then they sack Slade after the window closed, took too long to find a replacement and left the new manager with an almost impossible task. What goes through the mind of the directors? Why do they excel at only one thing - making the wrong decisions? They deserve everything that is coming their way over the next few fretful and nerve wracking weeks. |

Whilst I completely agree with this, I do wonder what happened during that window. Hindsight is a valuable thing but Slade MUST have known he needed a centre mid at the very least and waited till deadline day to obtain 2 youngsters and Simeon Jackson... to me it begs the question as to whether people just didn't want to play for him/us |

That being the case allowing Jones to leave looks an even more stupid decision than ever. Slade must honestly have believed Jackson would be a better bet up front and for three minutes he was and in all reality his return to fitness is likely to be our last throw of the dice!! No pressure Simeon 😏 |

No we don't. That is the last thing we deserve after years of loyalty despite everything. Sadly for us we are at the mercy of those who run the show. |
