Barnet had loads of crosses on Saturday but still ended up with nought in the 2-0 defeat to Luton.
Bees boss Martin Allen was all frowns after his side buzzed around the box but failed to sting the Hatters and as a result dropped to 18th in League Two.
Luton could have gone ahead before they did when unmarked Josh McQuoid headed straight at keeper Jamie Stephens but soon after fed Danny Green, who struck home from the edge of the box for 1-0.
John Akinde was one of those coming in for his boss’s criticism after the Barnet forward missed a good chance to level when he failed to convert Andy Yiadom's cross.
The reprieve saw Luton cash in when Cameron McGeehan swept home the second after Jonathan Smith's shot was saved.
Allen had reasons to be cheerful over the last three weeks, but not at Kenilworth Road.
“I thought that we did all right, but to come here you’ve got to do better than all right.
“After we’d weathered that initial storm early on I thought we were in control – we had several opportunities where crosses went across the six-yard box, but no one was in there to convert them or get ahead of their defenders.
“You’ve got to make those chances happen – when you come here you’ve got to have everyone on their game, and today there were too many players short.
“At 1-0 I thought we were dominating the game and everything was down their end.
“They scored on the counter-attack, which was disappointing.
“But what I suppose is more disappointing, is that we’ve had crosses going across that six yard box numerous times, had numerous opportunities, but we haven’t had anyone in there to get to the ball first - to make it theirs, and get something out of the game.
“Over the past month the whole squad has been fantastic.
“But today I think it’s fair to say that we’ve dipped below our standards.
“I can’t knock the players, because I think that they have been absolutely superb."
