A point today in the context of the previous week is an ok result but in the context of Barnet's form, our form, our available squad vs theres and then how the actual game panned out, it was not good. I think our fans are too down trodden by years of bottom half finishes - the novelty of a solid defence and a top 7 position are masking some worrying deficiencies. People are happy because we're in the mix but with this squad and a little more bravery we could be looking down on everyone else 2 or 3 points clear.
I'm still saying we don't create enough clear cut chances for a typical L2 striker, whoever that may be. Nazon and Jones are the type of players you don't normally get at this level - making goals out of nothing. Great to watch them but dangerous to rely on and for the opposition it is easier to combat individual than a whole team.
See a few people also saying that other team's form will drop too but it's our form that is the most exceptional in the league with our clean sheet record. I'm not panicking (I can't emphasise that enough) but I think we could easily be looking back at the end of the season, just a handful of points off 3rd place, while wistfully thinking back to our lack of courage in games like this to go for all 3 points rather than settling for one and being happy to nick 3 by relying on a bit of magic. Can also see our goals drying up further when the winter weather/pitches start to impact our play, which it will more than others in this league.
