‘Lucky’ Barnet boss Edgar Davids praises hosts (From York Press)

Well, there you have it from the Dutch Master!! He's right about the pitch and I'm sure plenty of fans have thought the same, in that it doesn't suit our passing game once it starts to cut-up! The groundstaff, no doubts, try their very best to get the playng surface as good as they can but the pitch is too tight and the surface a bit challenging during Winter and this is probably more reason for Gary Mills to have a Plan B - not quite hoofball but certainly a little more direct and a few physically bigger players to match the conditions! Once we get to a new ground and playing surface, then, it will be just like the San Siro and the Camp Neu!! In the meantime, let's have team spirits raised and heads-up and to take on the remaining games of the season with plenty of confidence and loads of commitment and dare I say it - some goals!! Nothing less will do and the whole City playing staff need to put some real fire in their bellies over the next ten weeks and get to that 50+ points target!! COYR.

Even oopposition managers are telling mills that we cant play the way we want on that surface , please gary mix it up a bit before its to late, 442 big man little man combination then it doesn have to be tippy tappy all the time

Edgar Davids knows that Gary Mills is coming under pressure, so this is just a show of solidarity between Managers. Barnet deserved to win for any team who can battle out the last seven or eight minutes with nine players, deserves all the luck that they can get.

...and there was me thinking Barnet had won because they worked harder and were better-organised.

I wouldn't be confident we would beat a side with 9 men over 70 or 80 minutes never mind 7 or 8!
