Hitchin (Away) The Match Thread Hitchin a Lift With Letchbee94
So..... tomorrow sees the bees kick off their preseason in front of fans as we travel a short distance up the A1 to take on Hitchin Town.
Hitchin has become a favourite pre-season spot for Barnet in recent years. Who can forget the debut of one Tyrone Duffus in one of our doom laden seasons. It is also a short hop from letchworth which will at least mean one of our regular fans Chris Emery will not have a long distance to travel.
In terms of the team lineup expect to see two sides of 45 at this early stage but not sure if it will be a mixed team or a strong team followed by squad and trialists.
Based on our strongest XI
1st Half
------------------------------------------------Evans---------------------------------------------
------------------------Collinge----------------Tavares----------------Critchelow-------------
------Kanu-----------------------Hartigan------------Osadebe--------------Glover-------------
-------------------------------Stead----------------------Shelton---------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------Ndlovu------------------------------------------------
2nd Half
----------------------------------------------Trump Rialist-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------Kensdale-----------Senior----------------Rye---------------------
---------Tonto Rialist-----------------High---------------Tommy Rialist---------Francis-----
-------------------------------------------Browne-----------------Brunt-----------------------------
--------------------------------------------Hawkins--------------------------------------------------
Giving this one a miss. Hope its a good game and players get good work in in sapping conditions.

Ndlovu has a broken foot Mr Cornfield!!

Surely High makes pur strongest XI?
Cant believe you are not going! Poor form Cornfield

Rather than recall that match in 2020 as the debut of Tyrone Duffus, we should remember it as the first time that we became aware of Calum Stead.
Re: Hitchin (Away) The Match Thread Hitchin a Lift With Letchbee94
And we should have signed him then, he was great that day for Hitchin !

Is it pre-season already! Normally it drags on but really excited for it to actually start.
Doing this one, it's only a short run down the A1 and should be a nice evening at a nice little ground.
Hopefully see a few of our additions having a run out and some of our Champions

No Steady - was he involved Saturday anyone that went? Hopefully nothing serious or being sold? Seriously light on goals without Stead & Ndlovu (no I’m not panicking on July 1st lol)

A bit weird that Hawkins is not starting then.
Anyway, I’ve just had a pint outside the ground in the park on the other side of the road and I’m well up for this!

Everyone will get 45 minutes I would have thought, so it’s probably immaterial whether Hawkins gets it from the start or from half time. Expect Browne will play as the no.9, or the closest thing we’ll have to a number 9, in the first 45 before being withdrawn along with everyone else.rudebwoyben wrote: ↑01 Jul 2025, 19:07 A bit weird that Hawkins is not starting then.

Gol!Rhys Browne!
Re: Hitchin (Away) The Match Thread Hitchin a Lift With Letchbee94
Even with Stead and Ndlovu we're light on out and out goal scorers for L2. But we do have an excellent defence.
