FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round

BARNET 4 Braintree Town 2

Late goals from Elliot Johnson and Cheye Alexander made sure the Bees will be in Monday’s first round draw after Braintree fought back from two goals down. Barnet started brightly and were two goals up inside 15 minutes. David Tutonda scored the first following up a cross from Josh Walker, Manny Duku setting up Jack Taylor for a calm finish from 6 yards for number two nine minutes later. At that stage The Bees looked in complete command but poor defending in first half injury time led to Reece Grant halving the deficit after Barnet failed to clear a corner. Braintree were level when Lyle Della-Verde volleyed home after 65 minutes. The Bees though weren’t to be denied man of the match Cheye Alexander finding second half substitute Elliott Johnson who headed home his first goal since May 2016 before thumping home a free kick 6 minutes from time to secure a memorable victory.

skysports-fa-cup-trophy-generic_4404308

The Bees start on the road to Wembley with the visit of Braintree in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. Manager John Still has described his approach to the worlds most famous cup competition as ‘old school’ so Barnet are likely to name a full strength line-up for the tie. Braintree almost pulled off a shock victory at high flying Salford last week so will pose a greater threat than their league position suggests.

The Iron are currently under the control of former Bees midfielder Hakin Hayrretin who has played for and worked with John Still most recently at Luton. They also have another Barnet connection in the shape of striker Justin Amaluzor. The two teams drew 1-1 at The Hive earlier in the season with Shaq Coulthirst equalising for Barnet after a Jack Taylor own goal had put the visitors in front. The Bees haven’t been beaten in the 4th Qualifying Round  since 2002 their last two appearances at this stage of the competition being against Braintree’s Essex rivals Concord Rangers and Chelmsford.

Braintree Facts: The first crocodile to be brought to the UK was kept in Braintree in 1701, while singer Olly Murs went to school there along with dancer Louis Spence.

We’ll have live commentary from The Hive on Saturday Sport from 2:45.
