Time: 19:45
Date: 28th October 2022

Venue: The Hive
Barnet host Scunthorpe United at the Hive where the home team look to make it three wins on the bounce in the National League.
Â
Â
Scunthorpe Haven’t had the easiest of seasons, currently sitting 20th in the table with only three wins to their name. Their last game did see the North-Lincolnshire side win as they beat Gateshead 3-1, a score-line Barnet replicated last time out against Bromley.
Â
Â
The Bee’s will look to capitalise on The Iron’s poor start to the season with hopes of pushing up to a potential sixth place.
We have received confirmation that Idris Kanu has received a 1 match suspension after his 5th yellow card – Kanu will therefore be suspended for the fixture Vs. Scunthorpe.
About our opposition:
Nickname: The Iron
Founded: 1899
Stadium: Glanford Park
Manager: Tony Daws (Interim)
Top Scorer: Joe Nuttall (9)
League Position: 20th
Form: DDDLW
Recent Result: Scunthorpe 3-1 Gateshead
One To Watch: Joe Nuttall
Â
The ex-Blackburn and Blackpool striker can be the thorn in Barnet’s defence considering his strong goal scoring form, a silver-lining in The Iron’s season.
Â
Joe Nuttall came through the youth academy at Manchester City, developing his skills at one of the highest rated academies in the country before getting a permanent move to Scottish side, Aberdeen. The Manchester-born goal scorer has struggled to become a mainstay in any of his previous teams, only finding the net on a handful of occasions.
Â
The forward’s best form has come since moving to Scunthorpe, scoring nine goals in his debut season for The Iron.
Â
In The Dugout: Tony Daws (Interim)
Â
Tony Daws has been a mainstay at The Iron’s youth academy, being the manager since 2005, with the odd appearance as caretaker manager, once in 2011 following the sacking of Ian Baraclough.
Â
Daws has never really made the step-up to senior level management, finding comfort leading the academy for over 12 years.
Â
The Sheffield-born coach had a strong playing career, featuring as a striker for nine teams, including the likes of Scunthorpe, Notts County and Sheffield United. It was at his beloved Scunthorpe where he had his most success as a player, scoring 63 league goals over the course of six years, starting in 1987 and finishing in 1993.
