great relief that we found a way to win ,,braintree were well set up and very lively upfront,,,with dawson i can only think that dc wants him fresh for saturday and gambled on leaving him out. And did he gamble on sticking Blissett out on the right wing for most of the first half? Inexplicable. We won last night in spite of Clarke`s management, not because of it. |

Credit where it's due the three subs made a difference. Balanta worked well a bit deeper with Taylor, Dawson looked a lot better coming off the bench against tired legs and Ellis could have had a couple but showed superb composure to tuck away that one on one.

Ooh how exciting my first post on a forum.
1- blisset really poor in last two games. Should not be starting. I would start with Ellis in the absence of Easter
2- could not agree more about needing sinclair back
3- lead bitter should keep his place
4- lockyear would lose place in starting lineup, he does not deserve to because he has not played badly, it's just since would be more effective.

I may have missed it but was there a reason, other than Clarke's choice,
for Dawson not starting? Really couldn't understand that one!

DC said on Radio Brizzle that he felt Braintree had areas of weakness with players cutting back inside and therefore preferred the left footed Gosling to right footed Dawson, it was purely tactical. |

Agree a strange one - you could see on Saturday why his career has followed the path it has. Moments of brilliance mixed with the occasional losing possession trying to beat the full back. On balance though he looks to be the creative influence we need - and I'm sure it was his corner that Parkes converted on Saturday - and we so rarely score from corners..... I'd be concerned that if he is only going to be used as a late cameo - he or Leicester won't extend the loan again when it runs out in a couple of weeks? |

Harsh But true to an extent. That first half was dreadful, we managed to make them look good. If the remark about a weakness cutting inside was true was Gosling completely incapable of exploiting it? And why, when Dawson came on did we get behind them and break up their compact defence? Still not convinced with Clark's tactics, which I admit sounds ridiculous when we are top. But against the next league up? Emmm |

The following are comments made by Tuesds on the 'Only Barnet' Forum. It just shows how bitter they are at losing their top spot:
"Because they have a crippling inferiority complex caused by the bullying suffered at the hands of Bristol City fans throughout early childhood, their school life, student life, working life and beyond. This complex causes most Rovers fans to be bed-wetters well into their teens and, in a great many cases, adulthood (University of the West of England study, 2011). This is obviously no laughing matter, apart from for Bristol City fans which, tragically, only exacerbates the cycle of piss and tears that is the lot of a 'Gashead'.
Due to their suffering at the hands of 'bigger boys' in the form of City fans, and having observed bullying behaviour at close quarters through their lives, Rovers supporters seek solace in trying to act as the bully towards fans of much, much smaller clubs with whom their club would not be competing had it not failed spectacularly over many years. What they fail to realise is that it does not count as bullying if those you are trying to bully do not give a toss about you or what you have to say, and whose only feeling towards you is not one of fear or envy but a vague sense of pity.
As fans of a club whose average home attendances are a small fraction of those of Bristol Rovers, we recognise that attempts by Rovers fans to 'banter' with us are akin to Barnet fans trying to goad Wingate and Finchley supporters if we failed on a similar scale to Rovers and found ourselves scrapping away with them at a level at which we should not be competing. In such circumstances Barnet fans would largely have sufficient self awareness to recognise that a little humility is called for, and to hold our tongues until the inevitable promotion back towards the sort of level at which we should be competing."
Pretty nasty!

Pretty nasty! Probably an element of truth, but what would Barnet prefer? Should we just ruffle their hair and say, 'well done for trying, sport'?

Emmm Clarke is still learning, and Braintree pushed very high up the pitch - a good tactic against a better side, but they were bound to run out of puff, which they did. |

Pretty nasty! Those Rovers fans who have gone over there in the spirit of friendly discussion have been told to get lost in no uncertain terms so I'm not surprised others are on the wind up now. |

For me Dawson, Balanta and Ellis made the difference last night; of course Clarke wont start Ellis, but for me credit where credit is due, he put us in front at Dartford and scored the winner last night.

Dawson was great when he came on, but Braintree were sitting back by then. Would he have been so great against the first half Braintree - would he have coped with the pressing, would we have been able to get the ball to him?
Who knows. Yet again though, it was our ability to change the game with quality subs that made the difference - other teams at this level don't have that option.
