Neal Bishop, ever-present in the Barnet midfield this season, has succeeded Ismail Yakubu as captain of the side.
 
Ismail relinquished the role in talks with manager Paul Fairclough this week in a bid to recapture his best form and the players were told of the switch before the FA Cup replay at Rochdale.
 
Fairclough said of 27-year-old Bishop: "He is a great motivator and is quite inspirational".
 
Footnote: Bishop collected his first caution of the season in his first game with the armband.
