VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Barnet boss Lawrie Sanchez told BBC London 94.9:
"We were disappointing in the first half and it's always going to be difficult after you've got two wins out of two.
"We had to go out and start bright and breezy but Port Vale did that with a great opening goal.
"At half-time we said let's regroup and make sure we don't give away a third goal before we start scoring. But unfortunately we gave them a third through not the best defending."
Port Vale boss Micky Adams told BBC Radio Stoke:
"Everybody stuck to their task and other than the goal that we conceded, it was a complete away performance really.
"We looked a big side today and there's no great secret to getting out of this league, you need to be big, strong and physical at times."
"To get the first goal at the time that we did was great and then we needed that second goal, and Gary Roberts came up with it."
