Pre-match

How did you get to the game?

I travelled down by mini-bus

What did you make of The Hive?

It was smaller than what I was expecting but it wasn't a bad ground for being so modern

If you went to Underhill, how did The Hive compare?

I think the Hive had better facilities and it was easier to access but I preferred Underhill. The location was ideal and it was a traditional (old school) football ground

Match

What did you make of the game?

It was a standard game of Conference football – both sides with very few chances. From our point of view, it was a much more positive performance, compared to the last few weeks

Who (from either side) impressed you?

Jarrod Bowen (Hereford), part of the youth team was handed his first team debut and played well for the 70 minutes he was on the pitch – a very promising start for the youngster.

Keanu Marsh-Brown (Barnet) impressed me – lots of pace down the wing

Who (from either side) could have done better?

I don't think I could pick out any individuals

Post-match

Was the score line a fair reflection on the game?

Probably overall yes, although both goals could have been easily prevented by us

Who do you play next and how do you think you’ll do?

Grimsby at home. I think if we can play like we did at the weekend, we could grab something from the game

Ratings

Price of match day ticket

7/10 – I think £17 for an adult in the terrace is about average for the Conference now but £23 to sit down is a little too pricey

Purchases made at the ground

8/10 – good value for a football ground
