No, we know Martin Allen offered him a new contract, just not necessarily with Barnet

To be honest, if you have Tarpey, Nicholls and Coulthirst in the team week in week out the team should get 45 goals just from those 3.

Ross doesn’t come for crosses, that for me is his limitation, but I think he would have been a decent number two Last time Barnet were in the conference the team used a pretty inexperienced number 2 and I think that will be the case again. Ross would either have been 1st choice or out. I am sure he...

I really not as confident as some. While I agree the team played well in the last few weeks, over the course of a season they didn't play well and there is no guaruntee that some players won't slip back into old habbits. It's also unknown at this stage how well Tarpey and Johnson will recover from ...

They tried in the 90's to revive it but it failed. Barnet came runners up in 93.

My views on the FA Trophy haven't changed- it's a distraction that generates a lot of extra games, particularly at the back end of a season. The two legged semi-finals on Saturdays are particularly damaging to the fixture list. The problem is compounded by the promotion arrangements for the confere...

I lay the blame at this seasons mess firmly at the door or TK/ Mcgoo and Thorne. Our recruitment this past season, especially in January when Forest Green did so well, has been exceedingly poor. . In all fairness on McGhee and Thorne, when was the last time the club had a good transfer window? Akin...

Even if Sutton were refused promotion surely they would just hand the automatic spot to 2nd place?

Why did Accrington remove the seats, sure this would be to refurbish?

I think people wouldn't mind if they put up a fight but Barnet didn't look a threat. At the best they looked like a side who could get a draw. Akinde didn't get any support but there were other times when he looked like he could have picked out a pass but chose against it. Allen must be looking at t...

That's it then really.

Not fair to blame Ross, it took a wicked bounce. He has made some good saves in this game and has been one of the better Barnet players.

Poor free kick, and poor defending. Sweeney has been fouling a lot and eventually it caught up with him. Shame as he had been the best player on the pitch.
Barnet need to chuck more attacking players on. The three midfielders have been anonymous.

At the end of the day the man is doing a job just like the rest of us. if any of us got offered a better one we would grab it with both hands because you would be stupid not to. At least he is consistent in what he does. Bring on Saturday 5.15pm. COYB To be honest joining Eastleigh was not a better...

He needs to quickly beat a style of football into some players in a short space of time so I can understand wanting only a squad of 20.I imagine this is the start of his trimming of the squad over the summer if he stays. Many contracts will not be renewed, many out on loan or on free transfers. Any ...

I suppose the big thing is that all 4 home matches are winnable and despite it being Barnet there is a possibility of 12 points from them. Forest Green, Crewe and Chesterfield are in a similar rut to Barnet and Crewe is the most difficult match but they are not the best side. If he can get it going ...

If Barnet still goes down then I think this really shows the club as a shambles with a 4th Manager of the season, and I think he will leave at the end of the season leaving Barnet to invest in a new Manager. I would say he really needs 18 (maybe 15) to stay up.
