Another piece of history will unfold at The Hive as Barnet take on Solihull Moors for the first time. Only formed in 2007 by the merger of Solihull Borough and Moor Green The Moors have gone from strength to strength and are now enjoying their second season in the National League. Currently in 5th place in the table they have won their last four and haven’t conceded a goal in 396 minutes. That’s a fitting record as the midland club are now under the guidance of former England keeper Tim Flowers.
Last Saturday’s defeat at Wrexham took the Bees winless streak to four games and left John Still once again cursing the length of a treatment queue which is threatening to block the car park. There’s no doubt this season the World Class medical facilities at the Hive have been stretched to the limit. Club skipper Callum Reynolds is closest to a return but Still is likely to be cautious about throwing him in after Andre Boucard lasted just five minutes of his comeback in the last home game against Havant & Waterlooville.
Solihull was voted as the best place to live in the UK in a recent poll by the web site Switch.com. It was also the birthplace of crime writer Mark Billingham, actresses Stephanie Cole and Felicity Kendall and legendary Slade guitarist Dave Hill. So while the play offs look ‘Far Far Away’ at the moment John Still will be hoping his team can ‘Get Down and Get With It’ from the off as they look to break their winless run.
As usual our commentary team of Pete Hill and Garry Lakin will be describing all the action on HRB Saturday Sport from 3pm.
