But for 83 devoted Barnet supporters the trip was one certainly worth making as their side picked up a creditable point on the South-West coast against Plymouth Argyle. After a four-and-a-half hour journey, the Bees loyal fans could and maybe should have been rewarded with a fifth away win of the season but watched on as their side were twice denied by the woodwork as the honours were shared.
Midfielder Clovis Kamdjo struck the post in the first quarter hour before seeing his flicked header turned over the bar by The Pilgrims goalkeeper Jake Cole. The visitors were then deprived of a fifth straight league win by the cross bar in the second half. Lively, winger Jordan Obita was the unlucky man smashing a 35-yard free kick against the bar with Cole well beaten.
The point maintains the Bees’ unbeaten start to 2012 but they had to thank defender Paul Downing late on as his goal-line clearance prevented a first league defeat since late December.
Barnet’s home meeting with Shrewsbury Town will come as a relief to those ardent supporters, but you can’t bet against them being out in force again on Saturday.
