Their last home defeat was on November 1, a 3-0 loss to Southend United.
(Sixth best in the National League)
Bees current form
Barnet are the one of the in-form teams in the division. They are unbeaten in seven in the league and have only lost one of their last 11 in the league.
Barnet’s top scorer
Is Nicke Kabambe, with 13 goals and four assists, and as you know, he is being linked with a move to Chesterfield. Interesting!
‘Fully fit squad to choose from'
No fresh injury concerns for Chesterfield, coach Danny Webb said yesterday.
“Hopefully it (the Altrincham game) got the last bit of illness out of the camp. There is no coughing and spluttering this morning. No injuries going into this weekend and we have a fully fit squad to choose from.”
It’s almost gone under the radar a little bit because of the two games against West Brom but Chesterfield have won four on the bounce in the league and have only lost one in 11 in the league as well.
