Exactly. I didn't see much of Barnet pumping long balls up to get the knock downs. On the contrary, they played the ball to feet extremely well. One delicious through ball to McCleod , split our centre backs perfectly and only a dubious offside decision saved us, as it did several times, much to his frustration. We were lucky not to concede 2 or 3 more goals.
