Barnet Vs The Gas - News/Build Up/Match Thread And Poll

ok, I admit it now, I let my preseason optimism get the better of me. I predicted a win against Grimsby Saturday and a point tonight at Barnet. I thought we were much better than we obviously are and even allowing time for the team to bed in together, I envisaged a good first couple of results against difficult opponents, an encouraging performance in each of the games and a consistently good crowd both home and away. Now I know its only half time, but with the best will in the world, I cant see us scoring 3 goals in the next 45 minutes so I guess its going to be 1 point from the first 6. I still happen to believe we will do alright this season, probably finishing in the top 9 or 10 but I now accept its going to be much harder than I first thought!

 

we had a chance then. taylor shot but saved. not a bad start or have i just jinxed us!

 

FFS.... wish I didn't bother looking this up lol we are ****

 

think though 1 point in 2 games wil make our crowd dip further now.

 

rovers pressuring now. just what we need. mansell header saved.

3 saves by barnet in the 1st 5 mins.

 

FFS Lockyer going off injured

 

whats wrong with him?

 

lockyer going off. busted mouth due to akinde. leadbitter comes on.

we have 1 sub left. straight swap still playing 352

sinclair and brown being wing backs.

 

commentator said a few time that the 2 strikers getting no service at all.

 

Busted mouth

 

Well at least lets get one goal

 

If Clarke don't sort out our striker problems by the end of September latest then I want him out. He, like the rest of us, has known about our **** strikers for an entire season. He should have ****ing sorted it out by now.

 

great cross by tayor and white about to score but defender just gets there 1st.

 

half hour to go. going to feel like a 10 year prison sentance.

 

taylor wins corner. leadbitter heads over

 

brunt ready to come on.

 

3-4-3?

 

brunt on gosling off. 343 formation now.

fair shout to clarke.

 

a loss tonight is really digging a hole for DC and adds more pressure on NH to make more big decisions.

as ive said before he isnt going to be given time to get things right, he had to hit ground running.

He had his 7 games to settle in and still had support despite a relegation, he's got no excuse to get it wrong now.

 

At least City are losing and Yeovil
