Good post that!!!! Completely agree. I think the players will take it on board as a bit of a turning point.Flashheart wrote:Listening to the game on the radio, it sounded like Barnet got complacent and gifted us a draw. The 3 goals appeared to come from nowhere and the ironic thing is once we got the second and third goals, we were unlucky not to go on and win the game. Which proves why you should never give up. To come from 3 goals down at HT to draw 3-3 away at current league leaders, albeit ones in a slightly false position in my opinion (they won't win the league) is a superlative effort and shows our tags of 'comeback kings' from a couple of years ago hasn't disappeared.
Which leads me to make 2 points:
1) Why have WE been the team thus far this season to be on the receiving end of comebacks, throwing away leads and conceding late equalisers and winners? I don't know how much Barnet underestimated their lead yesterday, but it would appear that we have got the fitness levels that some on here had doubted to play, compete and concentrate for 90 mins. Of course, you are only going to come from 3-0 down to draw every now and again, but you have to question why we haven't seen this never-say-die attitude that was our greatest asset 2-3 years ago more often recently because yesterday we proved that we've still got it (the fight and belief).
2) This must be a precedent for us now. After yesterday, I NEVER AGAIN want to attend a game or even listen to a game on the radio where we've thrown the towel in after going 1, 2 or 3 goals down, or hear the attitude that 'we've lost this game now' or 'we have no chance of coming back from this' (unless it is bleedingly obvious the game is lost). As brilliant as the fightback was at Barnet, we have set a benchmark now to show the SAME fight, belief and commitment in EVERY single minute of EVERY single game. Yesterday's game means very little if it is only a one-off.
No more wasted matches or minutes now. However well we do this season, let's make this attitude of 'never knowing when we're beaten' whatever the score, situation or opponents a cornerstone of our characterisation again. Good things will happen and the fans will love them even more for it.
my comments on here were caveated with for the first time this season after an on the whole flat strike force GW brought Gash on to play with Blissett . I would have thought that it was obvious that that strike pair would be more effective and cause defences more problems than Gash and Styche, Styche and Reid or Gash and Reid certainly more than Styche and Blissett or the Blissett and Reid pairing that GW selected as starting. More I questioned after quite a run of games what Reid had done to merit selection, I also questioned the lack of balance and width by playing a lopsided 4-4-2. That Obeng was brought on in 60 and provided more width than MJ who tends to come inside, I have no doubt was the turning point of the game with Barnet switched off thinking the 3 points were in the bag, Managers often get too close and can not see the wood from the trees in the pressure of gaining results.Paul wrote:Why?
Because he has proved that he is quite capable of producing an alternative game plan as and when required and that people, such as yourself, who are waiting in the wings with their sharpened knives, will have to wait a little while longer for their anticipated perverse enjoyment.
