Barnet FC players Idris Kanu and Romoney Crichlow have given their post-match thoughts following a 3-1 win at home to Fleetwood Town in League Two. The victory came just a week after Barnet had beaten the same side 3-1 at home, a game in which Kanu scored the third goal.
Following the win, Dean Brennan's side remain top of the table on 15 points from their opening seven matches. They hold a two-point lead over Walsall and are unbeaten in their last five league outings, a run that includes two wins and three draws.
Post-match reflections
Speaking after the game, forward Idris Kanu acknowledged the team performed to the levels required to get a result. He said the squad needed to learn from the experience and respond quickly ahead of the next fixture.
Defender Romoney Crichlow echoed that sentiment, focusing on the need for collective improvement. He stressed the importance of maintaining defensive solidity and converting chances when they come, areas where the team succeeded on the day.
Context of the result
The win marks another strong result in an otherwise strong start to the season for the Bees. Their recent form reads two wins and three draws from the last five games, keeping them at the summit of League Two. The squad will now look to build on this immediately when they travel to face Crawley Town this weekend. Crawley currently sit bottom of the division, making it a key opportunity for Barnet to continue winning ways.
Barnet's next match is away to Crawley Town on Saturday, 26 September.
