This sums it up for me.
Playing at home and we didn't lay a glove on them. We are so one dimensional at the moment and I hate to think what will happen when Ryan Colclough inevitably moves on to a better gig.
Not only have teams worked us out, it is too easy to work us out. Barnet hardly had to break sweat to beat us. I'm concerned about a lack of creativity (beyond Colclough) and that we might be in a relegation battle come the end of the season. I hope to be proved wrong. Phil Parkinson has got some work to do.
An extremely dispiriting evening. I knew that I should have ventured to the Manchester Apollo instead.
The sole positive note comprised the return of Marriott.
That's now our third consecutive game without a goal and, in truth, we have rarely troubled the opposing goalkeeper in those fixtures.
Barnet were better organised than us, both sharper in thought and quicker with their passing and simply worked harder than us.
When did our play become so monotonously pedestrian?
Why do we no longer seem to possess full-backs who can overlap and pose an attacking threat?
Barnet's corners and long throws caused us headaches all night and their second goal was an inevitable defensive calamity.
Mind you, their opening goal was painful enough. Barrows gets done for pace, then loses his footing and the resulting low cross is buried by one of three Barnet players who were converging on the ball.
If such an incident had transpired at the other end, then there would have been a high probability that we wouldn't have had anyone racing in to convert a Colclough cross.
At the moment, I fear that we look like a team whose style of play has been rumbled by opposition teams. Very concerning.
