Sounds like he's getting his excuses in early, or is it just Mad Dog mind games?

Not really sure of his definition of  "just a few years ago" either.

the vast majority of those are lads who've hardly played all season.Vilhete and akinola are the only 2 regulars who are out, whilst those late fitness tests on 3 first team regulars (especially akinde)rather smacks of mind games. and with a squad of 30+ i don't think he's got too many problems

barnet fans obviously think the same http://www.onlybarnet.com/foru.....71eaeaca  (look out for the mention of the god-like Jude Sterling

Crazy statement, he may as well be telling the barnet fans to not bother

Well that was a depressing address to the fans.... No rallying call, no positivity, no fighting spirit and he basically said he doesn't expect fans to travel. Compare that to Jolley's statements and they're world's apart.

Call it mind games etc but to me it sounds like Mad Dog bas already accepted defeat. I wouldn't be happy reading that as a Barnet fan or player.

Bizarre ending to that statement.  I'm not sure if they've missed off something along the lines of "But your support is really appreciated and it helps".  Otherwise it just reads as 'Don't bother coming'.

Not sure what he thinks constitutes us hitting form either.

Thought the same, doesn't exactly end on a positive note.

Reverse psychology. He knows exactly what he's doing and his team will be very much up for it.
