Just had the pleasure of witnessing them at work and I'll pass comments based solely on seeing them.

0-1 - Fairly decent goal. Good ball fizzed across the 6 yard box by N'Guessean which saw both Wright and Patulea miss the chance for a tap-in but it fell Brown at the back post, who slotted into the path of O'Connor who finished smartly.

1-1 - You won't see this tomorrow unless Big League Weekend show a little more footage but Green gets barged off the ball by their forward far too easily (he's becoming too big a liability for me this season) who then floats a ball into the box which sees a looping header beat Burch. Kovacs was fuming with Green.

2-1 - Their winger cuts in from the right hand side, carries on running unchallenged until he lets fly from around 22 yards out (with at least 3 Lincoln players within a few yards of him) and his shot takes a deflection off Sinclair's leg and past Burch.

2-2 - Free kick from the left played in, a flick-on at the near post by their own man which finds Patulea at the back stick unmarked who heads home. Pat anticipated it well and although I'm not a fan of his, I quite like the fact that he was there for the simplest of headers.

3-2 - A cross from the right hand side from about 35 yards out and towards the centre which looped in towards the back post (was in the air for a while) and saw their man get there before Kovacs and score from all of about 6 yards. You can't really tell on the TV clips whether or not Burch's positioning was poor so you'll have to take the word of people who were there. Unsurprisingly seeing as he wasn't at fault, Green was fuming with Kovacs.

If I'm a child that means you're a pedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm going stand here and take this from a pervert.

I think it is very clear from a number of games this season that Green and Kovaks are not the best of buddies - to put it politely. What the manager does about this, I don't know!!!

I was at the game today and we should have been 2-0 before the half hour. Dany missed two golden chances when clear through and he gave Lockwood a really hard time throughout the first 45 minutes. Thought we looked pretty good after scoring and despite the trickery of the Barnet wingers looked ok, but that equaliser killed us.
Beevers had a lot of treatment for a head injury and I think it affected his second half performance pretty badly! The right winger for Barnet had a great half, but shouldn't have been allowed to run at the defence like that. Not sure if the shot took a deflection but Burch seemed to be going away from the ball.
Straight away Ade got his header despite not doing very much throughout the game. Indeed there were times he was petulant, though he was unlucky to get booked so early.
Not sure about the defending at the far post for the winner, but the cross in was sublime to be fair.
Defence again looked ropey. Not sure if Sinclair should have been up against a massive player like Furlong.
O'Connor look useful. Certainly loves getting his foot in and passes well. However, he was lucky to stay on the pitch at the end. His tackle was very wild.
Kerr started the game ok but as the game progressed made some silly decisions which gave possession straight back.
Brown was fairly anonymous to be honest. Can't recall him getting past his marker much though he did provide the opener.
Dany was terrific but for the final product. Great run to set up the first goal but second half was fairly quiet.
Thought Ben Wright had a good first half but like most of the team faded after the break.
Ade didn't play particularly well, but scored a goal and needs to get match fit it seems.

I don't think Kerr has too much time for Kovacs either given how much i've seen them shouting at each other. Was the case again today after the equaliser.

Goodness we had the chances to win that game and were totally dominant for the vast majority of the first half.

They took their good opportunities and Burch only needed to make one good save from a freekick.

To me it is not the individuals in the defence but more that the collective is too slow. Green Kovaks Sinclair Beevers just don't have the pace that would give them more confidence. They can all head the ball especially Kovaks, they did not give too many balls away but their backing off and poor positioning cost us.

Here are the goals as well as Burch''s great save and one of Danny's appalling misses.

Poor attempt to challenge by Beevers on their first goal. Did he switch off?

Second was probably deflected but why did we let him run that far without being challenged?

Third was a great cross but a pretty poor attempt to clear from Kovacs allowed their forward to dive in and head it.

We did have quite a few other chances that were not shown.

Who put in a half-hearted challenge just as he was about to shoot? What happened to throwing your body in the way?

Our defence is awful, isn't it?

You'd think so as you would have expected Green to have dealt with the ball.

It bounced twice even before Furlong put a challenge in and Beevers looked like he was on heels when the ball came into the box.
