Barnet are swiftly back in action tonight (Tuesday) hosting League One outfit Leyton Orient in the final group game of this year’s Jersey Mike’s Trophy (7pm KO).
The Bees know that victory over the O’s will confirm their place in the knockout rounds of the trophy but will be aware of the quality that the east London side possess amongst their ranks.
Victory in the Emirates FA Cup only a few days ago will certainly encourage Dean Brennan’s side, who will be looking to head into the international break on a positive note.
Barnet have already overcome Arsenal U21s and AFC Wimbledon – courtesy of a penalty shootout in this tournament and will be keen to go one further tonight.
Barnet’s Last Five:
Barnet 3-0 Tranmere Rovers – Emirates FA Cup
Barnet 3-1 York City – Sky Bet League Two
Barnet 1-1 Oldham Athletic – Sky Bet League Two
Barnet 1-3 Swindon Town – Sky Bet League Two
Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Barnet – Sky Bet League Two
Leyton Orient:
Sky Bet League One outfit Leyton Orient have certainly had a mixed start to the 2026/27 campaign, with their 14th placed position highlighting their inconsistent start.
Victories over Oxford United, Wigan, Bromly, Stevenage, Blackpool and Cambridge United have set the O’s on their way, with last weekend’s Emirates FA Cup victory over Harborough Town ensuring they clinched back-to-back successes for the first time this year.
In the dugout: Richie Wellens
Former midfielder Richie Wellens enjoyed a successful playing career, with his spells with Blackpool, Oldham Athletic, Doncaster Rovers and Leicester City most noticeable throughout his playing days.
Eventually hanging his boots up in 2017, he would join Oldham Athletic initially as first-team coach, spells with Swindon Town, Salford City and Doncaster Rovers would follow before moving to Leyton Orient in March 2022.
He has since consolidated himself at Brisbane Road, guiding them to promotion to League One in April 2023.
Under Wellens the O’s have been a League One side ever since.
One to watch: Dane Scarlett
Young forward Dane Scarlett arriving from Tottenham in the summer and has continued to impress in East London ever since.
Having broken through the Spurs Academy, Scarlett would enjoy loan spells at Portsmouth, Ipswich Town, Hibernian and Oxford United, and it was with the U’s his quality shone through – scoring 4 Championship goals in 20 games.
Now with Orient, Scarlett clinched his first O’s goal in October’s victory over Blackpool.
A Memorable Match:
Leyton Orient 1-3 Barnet – Saturday 7th January 2017
A quick second half double from Ricardo Santon and a late strike from Curtis Weston wrapped up a memorable victory at Brisbane Road in early January 2017.
Victory over the O’s would see Barnet climb into the League Two play-off places.
