And there is the key

"The team may have let go in the second half and let Barnet back into the game, but how many teams have done that before"

Any manager worth his salt will insist on his team being ruthless. If you're on top like we were, you grind the bastards into the dirt. You don't f**k around, take it easy, and have a bit of a laugh, because that lack of focus and mental fortitude is what loses you games later on.

And yes, I have heard many other managers bemoan the same things after similar wins.
