Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ryan Glover

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Barnet

Matthew Cox 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.

Squad

James Bolton 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Danny Collinge

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Danny Collinge, and the manager let it.

Match

Tranmere Rovers take the points off Barnet

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Still no ink between Barnet and Nick Powell

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Barnet, another week without a signature from Nick Powell.

Market

Rohat Matyar 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.

Squad

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.

Squad

Words at Barnet training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jonathan Hogg is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Barnet find a way past Accrington Stanley

Accrington Stanley made Barnet work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

No hiding place for Nikola Tavares

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nikola Tavares, and the manager let it.

Squad

Danny Collinge signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Danny Collinge commits to Barnet for another 3 years.

Market

As if he never left: Harry Smith returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Harry Smith is a Barnet player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad

Tempers go at Barnet

Matthew Cox 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.

Squad

Nnamdi Ofoborh 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.

Squad

This league is too small for Harry Smith

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Barnet will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Barnet and Nick Powell are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
