The wait goes on for Barnet
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Matthew Cox in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Barnet this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Tennai Watson falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Chesterfield take the points off Barnet
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager makes an example of Adam Senior
“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.

Barnet buy the years ahead of Timothy Pearson
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Squad Matt Lowton dropped after a run of poor form
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Idris Kanu
