Squad

Danny Collinge signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Danny Collinge and Barnet agree another 4 years.

Market

49 months and counting on Nnamdi Ofoborh

Still no offer on the table, and Nnamdi Ofoborh’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

No place for Josh Gordon in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Barnet are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Miguel Ángel Brau is in the works

Barnet have made the call to Coventry City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Ajay Matthews is in the works

Barnet have made the call to Millwall. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Oli Hawkins is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Barnet has been clear about where Oli Hawkins stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Talks stall between Barnet and Josh Gordon

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Nnamdi Ofoborh has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Barnet that is a harder question to answer.

Squad

Barnet give Nnamdi Ofoborh the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.

In brief
