Match Preview

Same again for Bees Barnet have no new injury worries ahead of the visit of Gillingham. Darren Dennehy, Daniel Leach and Steve Kabba remain in the treatment room but boss Lawrie Sanchez has an otherwise full-strength squad. Defenders Dennehy and Leach missed most of last season with foot injuries and suffered setbacks in their recoveries over the summer. Striker Kabba is closing in on a return after a summer knee operation but will not be rushed back. Sanchez named an unchanged side against Port Vale on Saturday following the midweek Carling Cup win at Portsmouth, but could make changes after they slumped to a 3-1 home defeat. Forward Charlie Taylor came on at half-time against Vale and could get a run-out from the start. Gillingham's Chris Whelpdale is a major doubt while fellow midfielder Jack Payne is also a concern. Whelpdale was forced off nursing a severe dead leg in the 34th minute of Saturday's 2-1 victory at Crewe having not long previous handed Gills the lead with a great opener. Payne, meanwhile, sustained a hamstring problem in the same game and was forced to limp off late on. Manager Andy Hessenthaler is already light in the middle of the park as Luke Rooney prepares to serve the third and final match of his suspension. And his options are not much better in attack with Adam Birchall (cruciate knee ligament) missing long-term and still no replacement through the door at Priestfield, although it is hoped striker Dennis Oli will be back in contention to face the Bees having overcome his virus. Centre-half Simon King, who continues to struggle with tonsillitis, will be assessed.

Match Report

McLeod denies Gills Izale McLeod grabbed a last-gasp equaliser for Barnet to halt Gillingham's perfect start to their league campaign in a 2-2 draw. Gillingham had seemed on the brink of making it three league wins out of three after Jack Payne's 30-yard strike had given them the lead with 18 minutes remaining, but McLeod got his second goal of the night in the fourth minute of added time. The visitors went ahead after six minutes when Charlie Lee's long throw found its way to Danny Spiller at the far post who tapped in. After Gills midfielder Curtis Weston twice spurned good opportunities at the start of the second half, Barnet equalised after 61 minutes. Substitute Tommy Fraser pumped the ball back into the box after Gillingham had only half-cleared their lines for the unmarked McLeod to nod in. Moments later Jason Price hit the post from Mark Marshall's corner for the team only for Payne to give Gillingham the lead for the second time with a stunning strike. But with virtually the last kick of game, McLeod turned in Anwar Uddin's free-kick to give Barnet a share of the points.
