Hendon rues missed chances

Barnet boss Ian Hendon admitted it was a case of two points dropped as his side failed to see off Port Vale in a one-sided 0-0 draw at Underhill.

The Bees, led by the industrious wing pairing of Yannick Bolasie and Albert Jarrett, were unable to grab the win after a host of missed chances.

But Hendon, who was forced to field a makeshift back four due to the ongoing defensive injury crisis at the club, had nothing but praise for his troops, and insisted there could have been a rout.

``Last week we got away with a 0-0, and this week we are very disappointed not to have won the game,'' he said.

``We've had one cleared from the line and another hit the crossbar. The keeper's made a good save, and there were countless other near misses.

``If you're playing like that, more often than not you're going to win games of football.

``I think 1-0, 2-0 or even 3-0 would have been fair, but fair play to Micky's (Adams) team, they work hard for each other, they're organised, and they're a hard nut to crack.''
