Transformation after Fairclough's Half-time Talk

Paul Fairclough was by far the happier of the two managers after full time at Edgar Street this afternoon. His side came back to win 2-1 after being 1-0 down in the first minute.

"The first-half performance was probably one of the worst I have seen from our players in a while," said the Barnet manager.

"There were a lot of harsh words said at half-time and the transformation was fantastic.

"After the first 10 minutes of the second half, we were the team that appeared to be the most hungry. We showed a lot of spirit and a lot of character. These lads have been around the bottom of the table all season but they fight and refuse to give in.

"We have shown that we have the mettle, the determination and the belief to, just maybe, salvage the season."
