Marked for Owen Evans

Squad11 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Timothy Price

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Barnet lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market11 Jan 2027

Callum Stead puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Barnet, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market11 Jan 2027

Owen Evans has said yes to Notts County

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Barnet have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Mark Shelton pops up at the right end — 7.90

7.90, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Matthew Cox

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Wes Harding is a medical away from Barnet

The deal with Millwall is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Barnet

Adam Senior was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Hull City tell Barnet: Edward Davis 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.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Harry Smith 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market11 Jan 2027

Anderson Carvalho asks to leave Notts County

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market11 Jan 2027

Shrewsbury Town come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Notts County did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

The paperwork begins on Owen Evans

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Notts County have done the hard part with Barnet, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Christ Makosso turns down Notts County

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Luton Town keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

An offer of $160.0K for Courtney Baker-Richardson

Notts County have gone to Newport County 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Madou Cisse

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Jacob Bedeau stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jacob Bedeau and Notts County agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Notts County

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

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Notts County

Raimar was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad12 Oct 2026

The knee: Joe Rye out for 96 days

96 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Barnet lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Matthew Cox at Barnet

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Matthew Cox is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

A promise honoured at Barnet

Something was said to Harry Smith and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market12 Oct 2026

No place for Owen Evans in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Owen Evans has his answer from Barnet; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Joe Wright

“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.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Emmanuel Osadebe faces his old club

Cambridge United next, and one man in the Barnet dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Hugo Oviedo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The dressing room has a star in it

Joe Low arrived with a record at a bigger club than this one, and the room has treated him accordingly. The young ones watch him train; the senior ones watch to see whether it lasts.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes Callum Stead a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Barnet. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
