“It was an extremely tough test at The Hive last Monday and I’m sure that tonight’s fixture will be no different. The Non-League game is often associated with direct and physical play but our opponents this evening break the mould. Barnet play a high-pressing, possession-based game and we know that only a top performance will see us advance to the next round.”
