Squad

George Lloyd gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. George Lloyd has just signed for Barnet, and for once the answer mattered.

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

George Lloyd stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” George Lloyd and Barnet agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

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.

Market

Talks stall between Barnet and Harry Smith

“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.

Market

Nobody at Barnet has picked up the phone to Adam Senior

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

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.
