MATCH PREVIEW | SOLIHULL MOORS

The Bees make the trip to the Midlands to face Solihull Moors in the Vanarama National League tomorrow afternoon, looking to keep the winning streak going.

Barnet FC:

Last Weekend the Bees overturned National League South Side Chelmsford City at the Hive in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying. Callum Stead kept his great form going with two first half goals coming in the 26^th and 42^nd minute. City’s uphill task got even greater when Ryan Glover slid in at the back post to grab the third goals before Zak Brunt’s chip over the goalkeeper in the dying seconds sealed the fourth. The Bees will now face League One side Exeter City in the first round of the cup.

Solihull Moors

Tomorrow’s hosts sit in the top section of the mid table pack after picking up five wins from 13 games in the league this season, drawing three and losing five. The Moors have had a busy week in comparison to Barnet, after a 1-1 draw at Altrincham on Saturday in the FA Cup the replay was played on Tuesday night with the game going to extra-time and then penalties. Solihull won the game of spot-kicks, booking their place in the next round of the cup with former Barnet keeper Laurie Walker the hero on the night.

Solihull Moors last five results:

Solihull Moors 2-2 Altrincham

Altrincham 1-1 Solihull Moors

Oldham Athletic 2-3 Solihull Moors

Dagenham 1-1 Solihull Moors

In the opposite dugout:

Solihull Moors are currently managed by former Coventry and Brighton defender Andy Whing who has been at the Moors helm since last summer. Whing first moved into management in 2017 when he took over Kidderminster Harriers U23’s. Whing moved to Hereford in 2019 to become assistant head coach before moving into the top job at Banbury United in 2020. He guided Banbury to the Southern League Premier Division Title in 2022 before earning himself a move to Solihull in the summer of 2023 where he has remained since. Last season Solihull fell short of promotion to the National League and the FA Trophy when they lost on penalties in both at Wembley in consecutive weeks.

Ones to watch:

Jack Stevens will be one to watch tomorrow, the Solihull man has 5 goals to his name so far this season from 9 games, averaging a goal every 56 minutes.

Last time these two sides met:

The last time these two sides met was back in April this year in the National League play-offs where the Moors ended the Bees’ promotion hopes in brutal fashion. James Clarke got the games opening goal after six minutes before Jack Stevens doubled the advantage shortly after. Tahvon Campbell got a third before Joe Sbarra rounded off the scoring.
