Chairboys v Hairboys - Wycombe v Barnet

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

After the debacle against Exeter, we move on to Wycombe, a side with a good home record and a venue where we don't win (although 5 of the last 6 have ended in stalemate).

Allen can count himself fortunate that we have a chairman that has shown himself to have more patience than most, but even allowing for that, time must be running out if another poor performance and result happens here.

This isn't going to be pretty. Eyes closed and hope we come out the other side.

This will be the first game against Wycombe I've missed, ever. Expecting a similar 4-2 hiding we got a few years ago and cant bring myself to make the short journey.

If we win do you Barnet fans think that swill be the end for Allen?
We are almost up to full strength regarding injuries and even had enough at Mansfield where 2 players weren't even in the squad i can't remember last time that happened. No doubt Akinde will score a pen but hopefully we can score 2 goals now we've got 3 wingers fit.

If we play the same way then it should be, but as I said earlier, TK doesn't have a history of acting quickly. Even when we got off to a horrendous start under Robson in 2012 (2 points from 10 games), it was only about now that he brought in Davids to work with him.

I have a feeling Newport on Tuesday might be the breaking point. Lose tomorrow and then get beat there and I think he'll have to do something. I don't see Allen resigning though.

Are tickets available to buy on the day?

Yep and there's a shuttle bus service from the train sation and back after the game costing £3 return. Times are 13-05 and 14-05.

As if they wouldn't be!

 

[Urban]

Nice one, thanks.

We're going to lose, Allen won't get sacked and we're going down.

But apart from all that everything's fine and dandy,yeh?
Oh hang on.. you're now based in an alien corner of London,miles away from your manor and not surprisingly playing to sparser crowds than you used to get at Underhill.
Any reason whatsoever to be optimistic for the future?

Slightly confused at the point you're trying to make here? I'm not bothered by the move to the Hive, doesn't affect me negatively at all - we needed to move. But the club haven't been doing loads to make the move seamless. There's a significant portion of the old fan base who are too stubborn and pigheaded to accept the change and are only hurting themselves and the club by staying away from matches.

Not bullshit at all.It's a valid question.They've moved well out of their parish and are getting terrible turnouts so I'm asking if there's any light at the end of the tunnel.

Sure the club needed to move-but surely not all the way over to Canons Park where you won't have any fanbase.

There weren't any other options, let alone cost effective ones.

It's not that far, really. Its not an MK Dons situation. No big deal but some 'fans' are determined to have a moan and dig their heels in about it all.

 

[Urban]

This referee is shit!

 

[mowgli]

This referee is shit!

Both teams need to be careful as he's got a horrific record of dishing out red cards.

 

[Urban]

If we win this (which we won't) it's more of a testament to how shit Wycombe are to be worse than us. Because what we've served up today is turd.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Well we did!
A win is a win no matter how scruffily it has been achieved.
A similar result on Tuesday and we'll be solidly mid-table.

 

[barnet_pls]

Actually 2 points off the play offs (unbelievably)

 

[Urban]

So we were still really shit today. Improved, but still wank. Wycombe were just unbelievably shit.

Firstly, ref must have been on drugs. That goal decision was definitely wrong - I actually saw him wince as that went in, he knew he'd fucked it. He made so many wrong decisions as the game went on - Wycombe had the worst of them but we still suffered too. No idea why Vilhete was booked and not sure what was happening with Allen and him. He was abysmal.

I remember Jombati and Pierre handling Akinde White well last time around so it wasn't surprising to see him have some big battled with them this time. Thought N'Gala had one of his better games up against Akinfenwa and Champion was very well (Lincoln you guys made a mistake sending him back IMO). Muggleton however was terrible - it's not his fault, he's just not very good!

Wycombe didn't really do too much - should have done more with the players they had out there. No one stood out, although it was a definite red.
