Chris Hargreaves’ thoughts 

The boss reflected on Saturday’s draw and looked ahead to Tuesday’s game.

Team news

The boss confirmed after the Wrexham game that Ben Richards-Everton has suffered an injury and are awaiting further news on his return.

On the other hand, Lawson D’Ath returned to the pitch as a second half substitute and will be hoping for more minutes against the Bees.

A foot in the opposition camp

The Bee’s have been a familiar opposition for the Glovers in recent years, and there’s a very familiar face wearing the armband.

Former Town midfielder Dale Gorman is now the Barnet club captain and will be returning to Yeovil just months after departing.

In the dugout, Dean Brennan remains at the helm at the Hive. The former Wealdstone manager enters his second season in charge and will he hoping to improve on their mid table finish.

Have we met before?

Since returning to the National League, Yeovil and Barnet have played out some memorable occasions, the stand-out of those being the 19/20 play-off eliminator at Huish Park, in which Barnet snatched a victory over the Glovers.

Last season, the game at Huish Park went Yeovil’s way, with Adi Yussuf’s first half header separating the two sides.

In April, a Yeovil Town side managed by Charlie Lee for the first time were held to a 2-2 draw by the Bees.
