Wish I had never mentioned the bloody pitch !!

Anyway heres my take on the game that took place,Barnet had obviously watched us recently and the best way to play against 4-3-3 is match it,which they did.
Simply they went man for man in central areas and gave our playmakers little or no time on the ball(joycy and hughes).
There widemen pushed on our fullbacks and caused no end of problems with there pace and there defenders were big and mobile and give us nothing.
Our cbs had there hands full with the pace and movement macloud.
They impressed me and cant believe there league position with the players they have.
All the goals could have been defended better,the first,murph was caught up field when they broke and joycy never picked up the runner(dean should have left his man and attempt to get across) but the lad carried the ball too far.
The second was a miss match,podge shouldnt be marking there cb at a set piece,although toto let the ball go over his head,causing hesitation.
The last was a fluke,with the ball going thro a packed penalty area,but the original foul was a cheap one by toto,who didnt need to conceed.
In summary,we were poor against a good organised team,but IMHO we missed Longy and presence and reading of the game.
