Re: Barnet retained list

Coker has been OK. His delivery is ok and he is reasonably solid defensively BUT against pace he really struggles - players know they just have to knock the ball past him and his only choice is to foul them. It’s not so much that I think he’s bad, just that I think we might be able to recruit better.

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

Incredibly disappointing. Barnet just didn’t turn up. Solihull were on their game, wanted it more and had the right tactics. Too often Barnet, who can be really positive and creative, are incapable of playing the better teams. DB’s post match interview was really disappointing. It is not good enoug...

Re: Barnet retained list

Willesden Bee is usually well informed. I suspect his keep RHJ is a consequence of him having a 2 year contract.

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

Looking at the teams confirmed for the league next year, it’s very winnable on paper. Have to go big this summer This. Big money coming into the club from 3rd party transfers. A 25 goal a season striker on a contract. No big clubs coming up or down. If we have money to spend a 25 goal a season stri...

Re: Play Off Semi Final Tickets

I suspect the reason blocks are greyed and become available again are:
1. People moving to be with friends
2. Other browsers having selected the last available seat in block and then not buying.

Re: Are you ready?

I believe we are the better team. But it's a play off and the margins are paper thin. Lucky deflection, dodgy decision or an out of character 35 yard thunderbolt could swing it either way. Yep I'm nervous already!

Re: Big games tonight

Win our game on Saturday and we won't have to worry about Southend unless we both reach the final. Frankly, I'd take that.

Re: No cup replays

Ultimately, I believe the decision to scrap replays will lead to more small teams going through. This is based on the chances of winning a penalty shoot out being rather higher than that of winning a replay against a bigger side. This isn't an argument in favor of this decision, I think it stinks. I...

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

Good for EMC winning EFL cup And Ronnie Edwards, presumably RDH got something for warming the bench as well. Barry Fry (on his 79th birthday) said after he’s visited Wembley 7 times & won every time! Shame none were with the Bees! Should we reach the final we should invite Barry to be an assist...

Re: Maidenhoof (Away) The Sparkes Fly Match Thread

Credit also to Maidenhead for the way they treat supporters. They may have a decrepit ground but they get the best out of it. This! I've really enjoyed my visits to Maidenhead. The ground is a bit ramshackle but they are welcoming and I love not being segregated so I can change ends at halftime - I...

Re: Blunt about Brunt

For me the key to getting the most out of Brunt is to play him where he can be effective which is as an attacking midfielder. He tends to struggle when he is played in a deeper position, which has been where he has been played in recent games (due to injuries in the main.) When playing just behind a...

Re: Maidenhoof (Away) The Sparkes Fly Match Thread

One of the reasons were second is that we’ve had very few draws. We’ve lost more games than you’d normally expect for a team in second, but won most of the other games. Maidenhead have drawn twice as many games as us, despite that recent record.
