It’s back to league action for the Bees as they entertain sixth place Sutton United at The Hive. Amazingly it’s only Darren Curries fourth league game since taking over as Head Coach so far it’s been a case of one win one draw and one defeat as Barnet look to close the 16 point gap to the play offs. Despite that gap with six games in hand on most of their rivals promotion is definitely not out of the question.
Currie is likely to be without defender Elliott Johnson who was injured at Brentford on Tuesday night while he’ll also have to decide whether to give fit again Andre Boucard a first start. Up until now the Barnet boss has been reluctant to rotate his squad but with two games a week for the foreseeable future he may have to change his approach.
Sutton have been inconsistent of late having lost three of their last five games but have their eyes set on another appearance in the play offs. Paul Doswell’s side have won six times on the road including a 1-0 win at league leaders Leyton Orient. There is likely to be a reunion for Bees old boys Nicky Bailey and Charlie Clough who have both played a major part in The U’s success story.
We’ll have live commentary from Pete Hill and Garry Lakin at the Hive on HRB Saturday Sport.
