Key talking points from Barry’s 2-1 victory over Cardiff Met

Lack of finishing for Met

Cardiff Met provided various opportunities during the whole match but no one could not find the finishing touch besides the Emlyn Lewis header.

Harry Owen was the main man in the match for the Archers as he kept going past the Barry side with ease.

The finishing touch just wasn’t there like the whole of this season , Met haven’t found an out and out goalscorer who has that finisher instinct.

Lucky result for Barry ?

Barry Town could count themselves lucky as many fans would probably think this be a steamroll performance for the Town after last week’s performance.

Barry were caught out in the first half with limited chances for the away side in which looked to shake the team.

Whatever was said at the break from Gavin Chesterfield definitely made an impact as the side scored two with a late winner from Evan Press.

Reasons to be optimistic at Cardiff Met

The last two games Harry Owen has made a massive difference to the team with getting a goal and being the most creative player for the team today.
