From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Adam Senior 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.

Transfer targets

Harvey Knibbs will not be coming to Barnet

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Charlton Athletic is saying, and nobody at Barnet is enjoying the guessing.

Match

No end in sight to Barnet's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Barnet has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom

Benjamin Atkinson signs on for the long haul

Barnet moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Benjamin Atkinson, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Transfer targets

An offer of $17.0K for Nicke Kabamba

Barnet have gone to Bromley with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Barnet

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

Accrington Stanley take the points off Barnet

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Ryan Glover 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.

Transfer targets

Wolverhampton tell Barnet: Kyreece Lisbie is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

In brief
