Barnet currently sit 10th in the Vanarama National League, registering seven wins out of fifteen matches so far.
The Bees completed an impressive turnaround mid-week away at Bromley, coming back from 1-0 down in the 85thminute to win 3-1 thanks to an Idris Kanu strike and Harry Pritchard brace inside seven minutes.
Barnet dropped back down to the English fifth-tier in 2018 following a three-season stint in League Two, where back-to-back 15th placed finishes was followed up by a 23rd after just missing out on survival through goal difference on the last day of the 2017/18 season.
Following relegation, Barnet became the only non-league club to reach the FA Cup fourth round in the 2018/19 season after victories against Bristol Rovers, Stockport County and Sheffield United.
Their best finish in the National League since returning came in the 2019/20 curtailed season, which saw them reach seventh through a points-per-game model, however their worst season soon followed.
Barnet finished 22nd in the 2020/21 season, which would’ve seen the Bees relegated if the National League North/South regional tiers weren’t abandoned.
