Barnet are swiftly back in action on Saturday, welcoming Oldham Athletic to The Hive for this Sky Bet League Two clash, KO 3pm.
Dean Brennan’s side will be looking for a reaction following Tuesday’s disappointing defeat to Swindon Town and now face an Oldham Athletic side who themselves will be keen for a positive performance in North London.
The Bees will be keen to put Tuesday’s defeat behind and welcome the Latics who will also be eyeing up a positive performance following their own mid-week defeat.
However, the impressive 18 undefeated run for the Bees was no mean feat and should certainly serve as encouragement for Barnet who head into this one sitting in 2nd place just four points below leaders Salford with those two games in hand.
Barnet’s Last Five:
Barnet 1-3 Swindon Town – Sky Bet League Two
Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Barnet – Sky Bet League Two
Bristol Rovers 1-3 Barnet – Sky Bet League Two
AFC Wimbledon 0-0 (7-8 on Penalties) Barnet – Jersey Mikes Trophy
Barnet 3-1 Fleetwood Town – Sky Bet League Two
Oldham Athletic:
Barnet welcome Oldham Athletic to The Hive this weekend who as mentioned will be keen to return to winning ways, back-to-back victories over Leeds U21’s and Cheltenham Town in recent weeks certainly set Oldham on their way, but defeat to Walsall last time out certainly ensures that they will have a point to prove on Saturday.
Despite their lowly league position, Oldham certainly have experience among their ranks, the likes of Oliver Norburn, Mathew Hudson and boss Micky Mellon certainly bring just that to Boundary Park.
In the dugout: Micky Mellon
Experienced boss Micky Mellon joined Oldham Athletic in 2023 and has continued to impress at Boundary Park following his arrival.
Then a National League side, Mellon would lead Oldham to play-off victory in 2025, clinching their return to the EFL.
After hanging up his playing boots up in 2006, Mellon would enjoy a prolonged successful spell with Fleetwood Town, before stints with Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Tranmere Rovers and Dundee United before moving to Oldham.
One to Watch: Oliver Norburn
Midfielder Oliver Norburn is an established player across the EFL with many stints with numerous clubs now on his CV.
Having begun his career with Leicester City, he would cement himself with Bristol Rovers, before stints with Plymouth Argyle, Macclesfield, Tranmere Rovers and Shrewsbury Town.
It was during his time with the Shrews that Norburn really caught the eye, making over 100 appearances in Shropshire, with spells with Peterborough, Blackpool, Wigan and most recently Notts County following.
He would play his part in County’s play off winning team last term before completing a move to the Latics in the summer.
Oldham’s last five:
Walsall 3-0 Oldham Athletic – Sky Bet League Two
Oldham Athletic 4-1 Cheltenham Town – Sky Bet League Two
Oldham Athletic 4-2 Leeds United U21s – Jersey Mikes Trophy
Oldham Athletic 0-0 Accrington Stanley – Sky Bet League Two
Oldham Athletic 1-4 Salford City – Sky Bet League Two
Last time out:
Barnet 3-2 Oldham Athletic Saturday 24th January 2026 – Sky Bet League Two
Dean Brennan’s side clinched a 3-2 victory over Oldham Athletic in late January 2026, Ryan Glover got the ball rolling on 36 minutes, with a double from debutant Kabongo Tshimanga secured all three points for the Bees.
Nik Tavares would see red on 64 minutes, but ten-man Barnet would ultimately clinch victory late on in what would prove to be a memorable afternoon for Tshimanga.
