Barnet To Make Several Changes

Barnet are facing making several changes for Saturday's match at Edgar Street.

While they, like the Bulls, have their injury problems, the Bees are also having disciplinary problems with the club charged with failing to control their players and striker Charlie Taylor charged with spitting at an opponent.

The club have until Friday to respond to the charge, which has also been levelled against opponents Aldershot, with a £1,000 fine the likely outcome. Striker Taylor, who made only a fleeting appearance in Saturday's match, has until 6pm today to respond to his personal charge with a three match ban likely with Barnet admitting that the incident is shown on the club video.

Taylor's suspension will add to their problems, with fellow forward Ricky Holmes, who Taylor replaced on Saturday, doubtful after receiving a second concussion on Saturday. Full back Danny Senda also limped out of Saturday's match with a groin problem while fellow defender Jordan Parkes faces a month out with an ankle problem.

The Bees are likely to field a midfielder in the right back role, and may have to call on striker Steve Kabba to make a rare start. The 30 year old is still stuggling for fitness after injuries dogged the end of last season, and he has started only three games so far this term.

Meanwhile, next Tuesday's opponents Northampton have ended the loan of former Bulls loanee Marlon Jackson early. The 20 year old scored once in six matches, but has opted to return to Bristol City almost a month early in a bid to impress their new manager.
