Re: Barnet retained list

Let’s bear in mind we’ve just come second with 86 points, as many as Paul Fairclough achieved when we won this league! Let’s not throw the baby out with the Bath water! Some people are talking like we finished midtable. DB has put the foundations in place for a points gathering machine so now he ne...

Re: Barnet retained list

We need more athleticism in the team - both pace and strength. Brennan talks about how that's important to him in interviews but in reality he's largely built a team that sacrifices those things for technique. Hey, we just came 2nd so let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater but it's notable ...

Re: Let's be realistic

NIMBYs will always complain about any development, so politicians are going to have to spend some political capital on approving development no matter what. The bigger the team, the more reason to spend that political capital. We've seen it in North London twice in the last 20 years, funnily enough ...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread

Very surprised people thought we didn't go for it enough yesterday in our tactics. I thought it was like the Borehamwood game last year where we were too desperate to score early and left ourselves wide open at the back, only Solihull are better than Borehamwood were so didn't let us back into it in...

Re: Play Off Semi Final Tickets

Genuinely don’t get the slower take up than the Brentford game on a Monday night - they were championship at the time too. This game is bigger than that but maybe not seen that way by the public. Still should be rocking with the battalion behind the goal even if 70% full & legends rammed. FA Cu...

Re: Are you ready?

Solihull are going to come and sit in and hit us on the break. We should have lots of possession and territory. Just need to not get overaggressive.

If on the other hand they want to play us in an open game, bring it on.

Booo, we didn't want a low stress one-sided game.

Re: Kidderminster Harriers (THTS) The Hawkward Goodbye Match Thread

You make it sound like Pritchard is some clogger, rather than an all round box to box midfielder who can attack and defend equally well. You talk about match winners and big game players, Pritchard scores plenty of goals - including in last year's play-off and 2 in the FA Trophy semi-final. I don't ...

Re: Kidderminster Harriers (THTS) The Hawkward Goodbye Match Thread

Crazy would be picking the team for a play-off match based on one game against a team nowhere near play-off standard where neither team was going full intensity. If Pritchard is ready, he has to play. None of our other midfielders have his ability to combine physicality with threat to the opposition...

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

EMC in league one team of the year. He must be our best product through our academy. Apart from keeper, I reckon we'd field a very good outfield 10 from players that came through our youth system the last 25 years or so. Jack Taylor to this point, surely. He started with Chelsea but was with us fro...

Re: FC Halifax (Club Tropicana) The Milk Float Match Thread

Commentary terrible on game- at Maidenhead Gateshead don't look too clever so far at start of their 4 games Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk They've got bags of energy but not created anything like the chances Barnet had by this point. They were terrible against Fylde, albeit on a very heavy pi...

Re: Maidenhoof (Away) The Sparkes Fly Match Thread

Maidenhead really worked us out after a dodgy first 10 minutes where we should have scored but ended up behind. Played really narrow, forced everything out wide and our two wing-backs couldn't take advantage of the space - they both look a bit knackered at this point in the season. Then in attack th...

Re: Blunt about Brunt

Brunt is the sort of player who, when the team is on top, can convert that pressure into chances and goals with through balls in tight spaces close to goal and good delivery into the box. Hence the number of goals and assists. That's a really valuable player to have. No good having pressure and not ...
