Barnet (a) Match Thread

Quoted from cmackenzie4

I just feel very deflated again tonight, Town have a habit of making me feel like this, you think i would learn after all these years supporting them!

Must be like being at AA and confessing our guilty little secret Chris

Hello my name is Tim and I'm a Grimsby Town fan....

Can't keep a clean sheet and the strikers can't score when we are on top. Another blank from the front four tonight.

Pretty poor all round. 1 point off the play offs now becomes 4 points off the play offs. I know we have games in hand, but they have to be won or at least drawn to keep pace.

Its sounds simple from watching and commentaries, we are totally fixed into compartments till we are chasing the game. Its almost like we play 4-2-2-2. when we put the ball in the box in open play we only seem to have one player in there which means crosses have to be inch perfect. This sitting off and letting teams have the ball where they cant hurt us always seems to hurt us, we should push 5 players on every time they get possesion. Wer are not playing against Messi and co. Most defenders in this league panic when put under pressure.  

I don't see how opposition defences can see LJL , Hannah , cook or tonk as a threat . They score fook all between them

You need to win those games don't you and ATM we can't win a game, so the talk of getting in the playoffs at a canter is boll ocks

so we're gonna lose all 5 of them then?

It's reassuring to see that this forum remains as cheerful and in touch with reality as ever.

Its like the game where kidderminster were 3-0 up in 16 minutes against us, in the second half when we got 2 back, we were FINALLY doing what they were d oing to us, and pushing players up, and getting the ball up the pitch faster, and their defence started having a nightmare! until we petered out later in the game, but it just proved me right in what I always harp on about under these managers, but sadly they didn't see it and we havn't really done that since.

Yep.

We bottle it as we always do.

In case you hadn't noticed, I wasn't being complementary.

After the first half showing I'd challenge anyone to be cheerful tonight mate

I did say at half time if we went down fighting I'd give them some credit....well they seemed to want it in the 2nd half but just when we finally get on top of the game (after an hour!!) we let it slip at the end

In the scheme of things I guess this is a defeat that we can say was to a team who are up there rather than from the wrong end of the table who just set out to stop us playing but why only show for half of the game (again)

If we'd gone into the game with the attitude we showed after half time maybe we'd have had some reward tonight and been that bit cheerier?
