IT’S back to Blundell Park again this weekend as the Mariners look to make it three home wins on the bounce against a Barnet side hovering near the foot of the table.

The Bees got back in the football league in 2005 after a four-year absence. They won the Conference title in style last season, enjoying a twelve point lead over their nearest rivals, Hereford. Interestingly, they finished above and 13 points above Carlisle, whom are now riding high in League Two. Barnet, under the stewardship of Paul Fairclough (left) have had a less spectacular season. Currently in 18th place, the Bees have been just below the half waypoint in the league for most of the campaign. Scoring goals has been their main problem – particularly away from home, only Boston have scored less on their travels. They will be hoping for a few more wins before the end of the season to secure their league status.
Ismael Yakubu is generally agreed to be one of the most promising youngsters in the lower leagues. The 20 year old made his debut for the club when he was just 18 and has been a permanent fixture in their defence since then. Midfielder Nick Bailey was instrumental in their promotion last year and is a handful in the midfield, netting 8 goals this term. In attack, Tresor Kandol was recently snapped up from Dagenham and Redbridge. Kandol had a spell on loan with Darlington earlier this season, but Paul Fairclough paid £50,000 in January to take him to Underhill. In just five appearances, the ex-Luton striker has netted three goals. Vying for a place alongside Kandol will be fast striker Jason Norville, and joint leading scorer Giuliano Grazioli (left), who will be hoping to return from injury.
Andy Hessenthaler. 40-year-old midfielder whom Town fans have seen grace Blundell Park several times during the last few decades. Hessenthaler was player/manager at Gillingham until his sacking last season, but he continued to play for the Gills. He also had a loan spell with Hull City at the end of last term. He was snapped up on a free in January to add some much needed experience to a young Barnet side. Despite his advancing years, he can still pick out a quality pass – something the Town midfield need to snuff out.

Town have a faultless record against Barnet! Although this has more to do with the fact that the two sides have only met once in a competitive fixture, that being back in August. P 1 W 1 D 0 L 0 F 1 A 0 Barnet Head-to-Head (Not on The Opposition Ladder)

Town condemned Barnet to their first defeat of the season at the end of August when a solitary Calvin Andrew goal gave Town all three points at Underhill. The hosts spoilt an array of chances in the first half, only to see Andrew (now on loan at Bristol City) net just after half time. The Mariners held on for all three points, despite having Paul Bolland sent off for two bookable offences.
