Match Preview: Will the Os Have a Fair Wind at Barnet?

Tonight we play our second consecutive game against a club nicknamed The Bees. Or as our friends at Brentford’s Bees United Trust call both Barnet and Harborough Town, ‘the fake Bees’. Expect more garish yellow/orange/black colour combinations and references to buzzing honey-providers this evening.
Last season we breezed through the EFL Trophy group stage with three wins and nine points before losing tamely to Plymouth Argyle at home in the round of 32.
If we are to prevail in the competition this season, it will be on the back of two lame performances against AFC Wimbledon and Arsenal U21s and an inspired, buccaneering performance tonight against a team for whom a draw or a close defeat would still be enough to advance to the knockout stage.
