A fracture rules Jack Senior out for 112 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Barnet will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match21 Aug 2027
Kabongo Tshimanga leads the rout of Accrington Stanley
3‑0, and Kabongo Tshimanga took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Barnet tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Player ratings23 Aug 2027
A brace, and Kabongo Tshimanga takes the afternoon — 8.87
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Kabongo Tshimanga provided it, and the 8.87 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Too dear: Barnet walk away from Ben Wilmot
$960.0K was the most the club would pay and Stoke City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
No thanks: Bade Aluko rejects the move
Barnet had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Leicester City, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
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.
Match21 Aug 2027
6 unbeaten for Barnet
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Barnet did not have in the autumn.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Door shut on Jonny Stuttle
Barnet asked and Sheffield Wednesday said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The terraces23 Aug 2027
One of their own: Frankie Runham
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
In brief
