Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Barnet boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

A falling-out at Barnet

Danny Collinge and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Barnet

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Idris Kanu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Adam Senior gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

A bad afternoon for Barnet against Fleetwood Town

0‑1 to Fleetwood Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Jón Hrafn Barkarson reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Looking ahead

Barnet face Harrogate Town in the game that matters most

Two sides from the bottom of the table, three points, and an afternoon that will be described afterwards as a relegation decider by whoever loses it.

The dugout

Nicholas Lawrence: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings

Anthony Munda beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 13. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Dennis Adeniran hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Barnet can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Barnet — 7.36

1 for Myles Kenlock, marked 7.36, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Transfer targets

Miller McDonald stays at West Bromwich Albion as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Barnet will try again when the window opens; West Bromwich Albion may not be selling by then.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Harry Smith — 7.77

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.77 beside his name.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Cian Dillon

Barnet asked and Reading said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Barnet training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Idris Kanu is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Harry Smith the difference as Barnet beat Barrow AFC

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Harry Smith. 2‑1 against Barrow AFC, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Cambridge United take the points off Barnet

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Idris Kanu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
