Barnet manager Paul Fairclough was under no illusions as to what had gone wrong for his side during their 3-0 defeat to Macclesfield.The Silkmen's goals came from Neil Ashton, Danny Thomas and Francis Green while Gareth Evans had his shot cleared off the line and Shaun Brisley saw his curling drive miss by inches.

The Bees created very little in the game, the only two chances fell to Adam Birchill. Both were easily saved by Macclesfield keeper, Jon Brain.

"We were out-fought, out-thought and out-played in every single department," said Fairclough.

"We lost the game in the last 20 minutes against Lincoln and continued that in our display against Macclesfield.

"We were very poor but I don't want to take anything away from Macclesfield, they didn't deviate from their game plan and no it's not the way I'd choose to play, it's great application and great management."
