New low

[wizadry]

First we make Madine out to be a very good championship player, then people try to say he’s better than Rhodes and now I’ve got people saying that this isn’t our worst result.

Today is embarrassing for Sheff Utd, make no two ways about it. Pathetic!

It’s things like this that derail a season. Forget about it wasn’t our first xi, you win as a squad and lose as a squad, it breeds confidence, let’s hope the lads heads don’t go down because no doubt they’ll feel very low and embarrassed after today. It’s up to Wilder to pick them up now.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Remember Adkins? Take your pick from defeats that year mate.

They were all defeats against teams in the same league as us though.

 

[blade too long]

When you change the entire team it sort of gives a can't care less attitude over the FA cup progress chances

I was thinking when Norwich lost yesterday whether Wilder was thinking he'd rather play Norwich at the end of Jan on schedule than distracting away from the major goal

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

It's alright...

 

[FriethBlade]

Well that may have ended a couple of careers at Bramall Lane. Out second team should be hammering a non league side and it sounds like they could have beaten us by more!

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

I still love the FA Cup and I'm gutted when we go out

We will never win the League ever again, the only chance of ever seeing us win anything is a cup

If we're in the Premier League we'll toss it off because the main aim will be to stay there

If we're a Championship club we toss it off because the aim is to get promoted

Its pathetic, and there is no evidence that a cup run affects our League form, quite the opposite actually

Spot on. Our best league form has always ‘coincided’ with a cup run.

Agree with that pal but don't agree with it's up to wilder to pick them up now. If they can't pick them selfs up after embarrassing them selfs and the club like that then I don't know what would make them.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

It was disrespectful to both the FA Cup and Barnet. It backfired and the club got exactly what it deserved. Serves them right.

It could have been worse,we could have got an undeserved draw,if we had played the same team in the replay then that would have had the potential to be even more embarrassing.I don't know if you are obligated to enter the FA Cup,but if you aren't and your not going to take it seriously you might as well not bother.

 

[Davalon]

Get a grip ! Worst defeat ever ?? The team lacked game time and it showed against opponents who obviously raised their game !! Not the greatest day but hardly the end of the world!
These things happen !
As ever UTB !!
Ps I feel fucking way worse when we lose 0-0 to the pigs and way way way worse when we actually lose to them !!

No need to get a grip.

People are rightly saying it's our worst cup defeat in terms of Barnet's league position, and that we've lost to a team effectively 3.5 divisions below us.

People aren't saying it's most damaging or disappointing ever.

 

[BigBed]

We're obviously concentrating on the league given the team we put out.

I'd be more worried if I were the pigs, who fielded a full first XI but still couldn't get through

To be fair, it shouldn't matter what team Wilder put out, they're championship players v a non league club, they should be very ashamed of themselves.

 

[biggey blade]

Could have easily been more a couple of times we was troubled. Was really embarrassing to watch. A total waste of my money and my time going. We just couldn't have given a toss today and it shows some of the attitudes of the players on the pitch today because there's no doubting the players individually are better than the Barnett players so can only be down to the fact they like many others (comments on the thread) couldn't give a toss about the fa cup. We may as well have forfit the game today and just not shown up and could have saved a lot of fans money and time, and the embarrassment of losing to a side that are none league and didn't even have to play well to best us comfortably.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Oh grow up no one cares about the f.a cup anymore it's a chance to rest your first team and give your squad players a game
Let's say we scaped a draw today and had to play another game with our squad that is achieving miracles in being a top six team ? And then another game against arguably better opposition with our ageing first teamers having to play

We'd more than likely fall away ,would you be happy then and conversely if we go up will you give a shit about today ?

It’s perhaps a bit of both that needs to happen, the management and the players.

 

[McGrath]

I'm not sure some of them can claim to be Championship players even if they are playing for a Championship club!

 

[BigBed]

After seeing the game, I'm not sure some can claim to be footballers!!

If we go up then great but today is, well, erm, today, that’s why we’re commenting on what’s actually happened today, what you’ve described is too many ifs, buts and maybes in the future.

 

[AWetFlannel]

True, but the fact we had the squad we did, losing league games against the teams we did, hurt me more than our reserves going out the FA Cup when we’re in a Championship promotion race.

Matter of opinion I suppose, but for me watching Championship players get beat by a non-league team is worse.
Adkins' shite squad were getting beat by players on similar wages.

 

[SB_90]

this was bad & dispiriting. i would say newly promoted fleetwood beating us 3-1 or that shrewsbury game that was 4-2 but couldve been 7-2

If we go up, next season Barnet beating us will still be played on FF and MOTD and yes, I will give a shit.

Would you enjoy a run to the Q/Fs or Semis? Have you enjoyed them in the past?

Then when on earth do you not care about losing a match that should have been won at a canter?

Now THATS pathetic

 

[GVBlade]

I’d love to be really bothered by this but instead I’m grieving the FA Cup.

The reality is it doesn’t matter and we’ll still be 3rd in the league next week and Wilder can get on with what he’s actually paid for.

Well I care. I love the F A Cup, and I have always wanted just once in my lifetime to see us in a final. Ten f*cking changes, I lost a bit of respect for Chris today.

Those cup games under clough condemned us to another year in league one I've hated the cups ever since so the best result we could have hoped for was to lose
Our squad is performing at optimum.and can't cope with extra games

Didn't want us to draw and dreaded us winning and having to play another game

 

[essexblade73]

Feel sorry for the poor buggers who were there.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Lots of people complaining about clubs / managers disrespecting the FA cup, only playing a second team etc. But only 7,000 ish fans turned up when it was £10 and £1 concessions. Not just the clubs who are guilty of it......

Let's hope we miss the playoffs - don't want all those extra games!

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Credit to Barnet and their supporters - they deserved the win. I've seen more atmosphere in a friendly. A lot of our players (who looked like a team of strangers) looked short of fitness and desire. On the back of this it isn't hard to see why Freeman is out of the first team and Stearman makes Basham look a worldbeater. If the players out there are our strength in depth then we have problems. Why on earth did we get Johnson? Should have got rid of the MoM award today because no-one deserved it. Embarassing stuff

 

[Mouth of the South]

Some ridiculously OTT reactions. Worst result ever, never want to see Bryan and Johnson play again, demanding a refund....

Get a grip FFS. A poor performance and a poor result but if anyone would rather have won today than getting points against QPR and Norwich needs to give their head a wobble.

A smallish squad with limited quality in depth should always focus on the league.

This coupled with the reaction about Madine reminds me of the delusional traits shown by those on the darkside.
