Preview: Bulls vs Barnet

The Bulls entertain Barnet in a League Two clash re-arranged from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Barnet are yet to win in 11 trips to Edgar Street, getting only four draws, and the Bulls will be looking for a double over the Bees after goals from Trevor Benjamin and Theo Robinson earned a 2-1 win at Underhill last August - with the assistance of the referee according to many Barnet fans.

The Bulls could be as low as seventh in the table when the game kicks off, with all the other League Two fixtures being played on Tuesday. A win could put them back into the automatic promotion spots. New arrival Gary Hooper is expected to start with a lack of attacking options currently available to Graham Turner. Steve Guinan remains out, and Trevor Benjamin is in need of rest and may be left out in favour of Saturday's match with Rotherham.

Barnet have a problem with goals, managing just eleven goals in twelve away matches this season but conceding only sixteen. They lie in 17th place, with a play-off shot virtually finished after just two wins in their last ten League matches. Top scorer Jason Puncheon may not make the game as he may have been sold by then, and second top scorer Liam Hatch is long departed leaving Adam Birchall as the remaining goal getter with four goals in 22 League games. No other player has more than one goal.

Hereford United vs Barnet, Edgar Street, Wednesday 30th January, 7.45pm.
