All we can say in our favour at the moment is that we are winning, Barnet definitely have a goal in them, we need to tighten up second half and maybe change things around,

Hard to see the 30 point difference between the teams at the moment!

It’s definitely been an extremely casual performance so far! Are we trying to win with as little effort as possible?

I’d like to see greater hunger for goals in the second half from the Yellows

Little doesn’t look as sharp as before his last injury break. Hopefully that is just lack of games

Jake Andrews ......25 yarder !!!

Finally, someone actually had a shot in trying to take one more touch and thats the result.

To be fair the last 20 minutes have been far better and thats fully deserved.

In fairness a comfortable win with minimal effort required so ought to keep the legs fresh for Tuesdays game.

Yes we won but until Andrews made his mark on the match it could have gone either way, we were far too casual, I will not criticise Little but he is not right, certainly his pace of old is missing and I am hoping its just a question of getting a few games under his belt, Andrews deserves a start on his industry alone but where do you play him. Tuesday will be an interesting match and hoping that Hall does not have any reaction to todays game.

Wow, that was hard work for 75 minutes (apart from the opening minute - don't know how we didn't score then!). When you look at our line-up, every single player is comfortable on the ball, yet we constantly gave possession away after a couple of passes. The back four were solid and MacDonald didn't have a lot of serious saves to make. Whitfield and Nemane were involved. I think Little is ok. He is still getting back into regular football and his touch will improve. Two great strikes to win it. Is Tuesday's game on ? Fotmob is showing it as postponed.

Really like the team set today which accommodated all out best midfield players in a good set up. It didn't work last week with Little as the advanced midfield behind the striker, today although he didn't have his best match he was always involved and looking for the ball from the defence and moving it forward - he just tried to overdo it really.

There were some really nice pieces of play, although generally we couldn't quite get hold of it until the last third of the game when it was all one way traffic. Whitfield is so important as he's actually direct and prepared to take hit - Nemane who's all round game is getting better and better sometimes just needs to have a whack at it, although he was not the only one who wanted one of two extra touches or passes.

Will need to be better on Tuesday
Made hard work of that. Barnet looked like a mid table National South team. Binnom -Williams looked there for the taking. We only really took control in the last 20 when Barnet looked out on their feet. I was expecting better today but 3 points is what matters.
Little had a better second half to be fair but still miss Randell in there. We didn't look sharp and kept giving the ball away, even the normally reliable Hall. Nice to see Andrews shoot from distance , he's certainly got that in his locker. Remains to be seen if Street is the answer but didn't really impress today and a poor miss
The table will obviously look a lot less comfortable when those 4 teams play their 3 games in hand but all we can do is keep piling up the points.

Says nothing on either website about ties being postponed.see there chairman made a statement saying we owe to everyone to complete the league even if it means behind loses doors!
Two questions if anyone can answer

If Sutton win promotion will they take it? I remember a few years ago when they were doing well I heard they would not take promotion as they would have to rip up there pitch which they would not be prepared to do . is this correct?

Second question
If they vote to null and void league on Monday. Does that mean no promotion or relegation. Would they not just do what they did last year? If not why! We are just under half way
