PREVIEW

Derby day is nearly upon us. Tomorrow The Wood make the short journey to the Hive to take on Barnet who currently sit 3rd in the table on 43 points. Back in the start of September the Bees came away 1-0 winners in our last fixture at Meadow Park when Oluwo headed the winner on the 76th minute.

FORM GUIDE

Barnet– L-D-W-L-D

Barnet are currently in a poor run of form and sit 2nd bottom in the league form table. On the 25th of November they faced a local derby away to Wealdstone, after taking the lead twice in the game, Wealdstone on both occasions levelled the score, going into the 90th minute both sides had two goals apiece. Then in the 90+8th minute Charlie Barker bundled home a last minute winner and Grosvenor Vale erupted.

The Bees bounced back and earned an impressive replay against League Two side after a 1-1 draw thanks to an 89th minute Danny Collinge equaliser. Howver in the replay that followed Newport came away 4-1 winners.

In between the FA Cup, Barnet welcomed National League South side Maidstone United in the FA trophy and comfortably won 4-0.

Most recently they travelled to Ebbsfleet and after going 1-0 up thanks to a Nicke Kabamba goal, Ebbsfleet scored an equaliser on the 80th minute from a Ben Coker own goal.
