Quoted from diehardmariner
Could argue that we've dashed their remaining hope by snatching an equaliser after they took the lead.  

They needed the win on Saturday more than we did.  I was disappointed with a single point, for them it was a huge missed opportunity.


The body language of their players at the end looked pretty dejected, they looked like a side who thought they'd just had their best chance snatched away from them.

Exactly.

My mate commented during the first half how the Barnet players didn't appear to be responding to Allen, to the point that Weston's response was to laugh at his screaming and barking of orders.

They definitely responded to the rocket they would have got at half-time but that can only work so many times and you have to question how many times a manager can return to a club and get a response, with the players knowing full well he won't be there in a few weeks time.

Leaving the ground I was disappointed we hadn't capitalised on our first half display but generally unsure how I felt about  picking up a point.  A few days later a four point return from the two sides who are chasing us to survive is far from the worst outcome.  Neither side has made up any ground on us with a further two games (three in the case of Chesterfield) played out.   Most importantly both sides looked just as bad as us, which gives me confidence they won't be picking up a glut of points from anywhere.

If we’d won, and we should have been out of sight at half time, then we’d be about sorted. We’d have been 9 points ahead of Chesterfield and 8 ahead of Barnet. It does help that the 3 other sides around us have games against each other.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

i wonder if the players didnt know the chesterfield result before KO.half time found out the result and then thought a draw will do. Hope not but with this squad you never know.
