84mins: Adomah finally leaves the field, to be replaced by Ashley Carew.

83mins: Hooper breaks into the box for the Bulls but his low cross is smotherd at the near post by Harrison, with Benjamin just inches away.

81mins: SUBS: Akurang is replaced by Adam Birchall in Barnet's first change of the game.

80mins: A Taylor corner is almost met by Smith just inside the 18 yard box, but he's seemingly pushed off the ball. Play on says the referee.

73mins: Adomah sends in another dangerous looking cross, but Brown cuts it out at the second attempt. United break and Hooper ends up lofting the ball narrowly over the bar.

66mins: Theo makes space in the area before seeing his attempted shot turned away for another Hereford corner. This time Taylor sends it in to the back post where Beckwith sees a downward header cleared off the line and turned away for a corner.

64mins: Either the subs or the goal, or a combination of both have seen this game jump into life. The Bulls have another corner moments later which gets punched clear by Harrison, before Smith sends a wayward shot in on goal.

61mins: SUBS: Johnson and Gwynne make way for Taylor and Benjamin for The Bulls.

Attendance: 2,271 with 56 from Barnet. - This season's lowest attendance at Edgar Street.

46mins: Hooper moves inside before switching the ball neatly to the left. Simon Johnson, who originally loses possession, wins the ball back and sends a shot just inches wide of Harrison's upright.

8:48pm: We're underway in the second half here at Edgar Street...

A quiet first half ended 0-0, with neither Barnet, or hosts, Hereford United managing to stamp their authority on the game. The main battle of the game has been fought out amongst the crowded midfield, with Toumani Diagouraga the most noticeable performer.

Indeed, it was Diagouraga who came closest to opening the scoring for The Bulls. His shot, on-the-turn was only half dealt with by Harrison in the visitors goal, who had to rely on Max Porter to clear off the line.

Barnet's new signing, Albert Adomah, has looked a threat throughout, sending in a series of dangerous looking crosses, which Wayne Brown has had to be on alert to deal with.

    Not a good performance-in all honesty the team is looking a bit jaded, the small squad that has not been helped with injuries have been exceptional this season, but now is the time to bolster. Hopefully GT will be adding today, particularly up front. We need an experienced striker and mid-field ball winner. And can our goal keeper coach work on supermans kicking-he was more like Clarke Kent last night.
