Barnet on a high as they prepare for Sixfields


Barnet come into tomorrow's league game on a real high after three straight league wins, including a 1-0 victory over Notts County last weekend, and a Johnstone's Paint Trophy upset against Millwall on Tuesday night. The Bees are really flying at the moment and will be a stern test in the first Friday night fixture of the season.

After an opening day defeat at Lincoln and a home draw with Shrewsbury, our visitors tomorrow night have seen off Morecambe, Torquay, County and Millwall without even conceding a goal and are sitting pretty in fourth place in League Two. The club managed to hold on to promising 21-year-old Albert Adomah during the transfer window after a late deal with Blackpool fell through and he will be a real handful for the Cobblers.

As for Town, we have Adebayo Akinfenwa back in contention and the big man was also the subject of an offer from Swansea City during the window but that deal fell by the wayside and he will be here until January at least. Steve Guinan has bagged two in two, as has Ryan Gilligan and both should start again with Billy McKay on internationl duty with Northern Ireland Under 21s.

A tough tussel expected then as we look to build on the penalty shoot out win on Tuesday and get back in the reckogning at the right end of the table.
