Barnet in the next round could be a banana skin. Although we have the home advantage again their stats against Millwall are quite impressive. Playing at Millwall they had 49% possesion and 14 shots with 6 on target

They also had 15 corners and the most impressive stat is that they won 2-1.
Hope Kenny doesn't try any more experiments and fields a proper team so that just for once we can make some progress in a cup competition.

I don't think we'll see a repeat of the Doherty "experiment" but I do think that with the league in full flow by then that we will see a weakened team with possibly even more changes to our best XI than we saw against Newport.

Chris wood hahahahaha his penalty is still in orbit. Anyone glad we didn't sign him?
Barnet I'll take that.

Last met Barnet in this competition 17 years ago. Last Wolves hat-trick for the great Steve Bull and a brace for a young Robbie Keane. Now that was a striking partnership

Gillingham at home for us, so can't complain, but don't want to get complacent.KRO

I thought Wood was completely ineffective and his penalty just summed up his night. Glad we didn't sign him.
As for Barnet, we should win and I don't expect KJ to make more changes than he did against Newport. It's less than 2 weeks to go until the next round and I would like to see some consistency in our starting line up, especially if we're still on a winning run.
But you're right Gem, a potential banana skin.
