Neither team are very good. Seen them both play this season as they're in same league as Wellingborough and Rushden & Diamonds who I watch quite a lot.

Standard isn't great overall, but Grantham & Bedworth are really poor. Muggles was playing centre-half and was skipper at Grantham. Expect they have had a change of management.

Not quite an ex-Bee, but Mark Gower's son Jimi on the bench for Arsenal

He made his professional debut against Barnet in a 1-3 loss in the football league trophy in 2011 (stepping up from where he'd been no 2 to Ross Flitney)
The Barnet team:

O'Brien, Uddin, Leach, Kamdjo, Borrowdale, Hughes, Deering (Vilhete 90), Byrne, Taylor (Owusu 85), Marshall, McLeod (Kabba 85)

Subs: Brill, Cox, Kabba, Vilhete, Owusu
Vilhete scored a rather pleasant goal for Coxy's team on the second night of the Ballers League to defeat John Terry's team.
If a long ball followed by a chest and volley in space from close range gets that level of hyperbole from the commentators, then my interest in this tournament has dropped from zero into negative figures.

Gaitlin O’Donkor scored for Bristol Rovers this evening and won player of the match in their 2-1 loss. Their 4th loss on the trot now. They’re in terrible form. Maybe we’ll meet them in League Two next season

Only if the South Stand is built, ground too small otherwise...

They'll switch it to Wembley. Would love to see the Bees play there again.

Surely a genuine contender for the longest distance goal by an outfield player ever, particularly as it was definitely a shot. No goalie and no WSM player further forward than the halfway line. He was going for goal!

Amazing - and that completed his hat-trick! Roy of the Rovers stuff.
Ah yes, Luke Coulson. Signed for us with a bit of a fanfare, looked a half-decent (compared to some at the time) player and then, there he was, gone.

He was very highly rated. Obviously a manager’s talk about one of club’s own hot properties is always to be taken with a pinch of salt, but we signed him shortly after Eastleigh manager Ronnie Moore said that they wouldn’t sell him even for a million pounds, and that he was “certainly” as good as anyone he had ever seen at League Two level!

If I remember correctly he was offered to us at a fee equal to what Eastleigh owed us for Togwell, Bondz and Muggleton so they didn't have to pay us any more

All that song and dance and he played so few matches. Just proves you should never believe the hype (e.g. Ross Flitney).

Wasn't Coulson signed in the January where we were signing players left right and centre? Santos, Clough, Bover et al.

All done on the watch of Eames and Newman before they were replaced by Nugent. Speaks volumes to why stability is so important if we go up.
I want to be good, is that not enough.

All stemmed from the abrupt departure of Mad Dog, which he had likely been planning since his credit went up off the back of our title success.
