Not a great game. Wind played its part and Barnet were scrapping for their lives plus several of our players didn't turn up today. Thankfully the effervescent Ryan did. Great game Jimmy and well deserved MOM from new shirt sponsors. Proccy put in great effort today and Jacobsen and Cisak also had good game. Into the playoffs, Yahoo. How much is walk on price ?
Andy proved today what a great leader he has become !... and the smile on his face as he led the Red Men out for their lap-of-honour was a joy to behold !...
To John and Jimmy a laurel wreath of admiration for their skills and fortitude shown in the face of the sort of difficulties and pressures which would have overwhelmed and destroyed lesser Men !!...
so to the playoffs...and then League One !.
Not the best game, but who cares. The wind played a major role.
Yet again Ryan was magnificent, his hatrick capped a brilliant season. Also special mentions for Cisak and Jacobsen.
Get them signed up for 2 years NOW!!
Good to see Coley bringing Long on again, as I thought Hessey was having a difficult time with Mcleod and Marshall.
Roll on Burton next Saturday, will be like a party atmosphere.
Hopefully Coley will start with a similar side, as its always good to have momentum going into the playoffs. But any knocks need watching obviously, might be a good idea to rest Ryan and Jacobsen just in case??? As we can easily put Razor and Leam in there for 90 mins
Whos ready for another holiday on the English Riviera ???
Although the wind spoiled the game,it went as most people thought,with Barnet chasing and fighting for every ball.
Fair play to them,they played three up front and stopped acci playing out from the back,indeed,when Acci had corners,they still left two up front.
Think Hessey got a knock to the head,but Long slotted in perfectly,which says a lot about the squad.
Although Jimmy gets the plaudits it was the keeper who caught my eye again.He didnt really have to make a save,but hes so commanding,anything in the air within twelve yards of the goal is his ball.
Thought Phil marshalled the back line well,especially in the second half,when it would have been deadly to drop deep and get penned in .
Wasnt a game for our ball players,and we lost too many second balls,but today was about points not performance,and the three we got were priceless.
