I actually thought Barnet shaded things in the first half but we defended resolutely, restricting them to half chances - and the timing of each of our goals couldn't have been sweeter in terms of helping us manage the game.

The team does seem to be evolving from the one that let the Fylde game go, for example - our best period by a country mile was 45-60 when we scored what proved to be the crucial third goal - and during that period, as others have stated, there should have been more.

We also seemed to be happy to go long with the goal kicks after it was clear the shorter ones were inviting too much pressure - again, something I don't think we would have seen earlier in the season.

Regan might not be sharp in front of goal just yet, but he plays the number 9 role like Jordan did and we're a completely different proposition with him leading the line. I've missed seeing Dan Mooney's combative game too, he doesn't give up on anything.

Shame Ethan made a bad mistake by his standards to set the tone for a nervy final 20 minutes.

Basically all of this. I thought as we took Mooney off that we might see this go the wrong way for some reason, he was battling all day.

We should have won 7-0 but in the same regard if the Barnet forwards had actually hit the target it could have been 0-2 at half time. Amazing they found the corner so precisely with the first goal.

CCC turning every Barnet player inside out was magical, and a two games sharper regan scores his chances as well.

Another standard win for a comfortably play off challenging team overall though.

Amaluzor  must be injured

Gassed I think(hope), we make him run hard.

If I'm Phill I'm not binning off a near 10 year project for 6 months in a smaller stadium in the league above.

Alli is  becoming our nemesis

Quite. In football manager I buy those players then make them rot in the youth team. I think it's worth it with him in real life 😂

Erm, just watched the highlights.   Their long throw on their first goal looks like a foul throw to me.  No one has mentioned it at all so I guess I’m wrong??!!  Any refs out there?

Good spot, I'm pretty sure the player's momentum can't bring them in to the field of play.

Not that I think we deserved any more yesterday. We were actually pretty bad in parts yesterday and in previous years that would have been another loss we put down as the reason we're not making a playoffs push. Yesterday we did what we've done a lot this year stolen points we don't deserve... I love it.

I thought about that crowd comment. I dunno how I feel about that sort of comment coming from an ex-player at all. In fact, I have nothing against any recent ex-players apart from him and Mullarky. That says something.

It will take some humility to do an interview with Alty TV and back track those comments.

IF he is on his way back.

I think I'm right in saying that the comment about DM wanting to play in front of bigger crowds was something PP said rather than Mooney himself. In which case, I don't think it should be held against him.

He said it, in an interview with Echo News - https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/20262370.size-club-led-dan-mooney-choosing-southend-united/

He chased success rather than committing to it. It was never a good sign to be honest, especially when all the warning signs were already there at Southend.

Tbh, I even get Mullarky playing relegation team roulette in League 2 over Mooney's switch.

That win was as much Ethans as it was CCC's.

Playoffs place at Christmas is it too soon to dream?

Mutual cancellation of his contract. As one tweet response says - "The squad is just too big and not sustainable. Football is a game of 11v11 why have twelve players - it’s just a waste."

Rumours he's coming here again, would we rather Mooney or Newby?
