Martin Allen is predicting more final-day drama for Barnet this season.
The Bees are still hopeful of reaching the Conference Premier play-offs as they enter the final six games of the season, starting with Saturday’s visit of Forest Green Rovers.
Allen’s side still have work to do though, sitting ninth in the table ahead of this weekend’s clash at the Hive, but are only four points shy of the top-five.
They will have taken huge confidence from a 1-1 draw at the weekend and are certainly experienced when it comes to fireworks at the end of a league campaign.
During his third spell in charge at Barnet, Allen saved the club from relegation by winning their last game against Burton in 2012, one of the club’s many last-gasp escapes.
Their luck ran out as it was heartbreak last term in League Two, going down with Aldershot Town at the death, but Allen is confident it will be a very different feeling come April 26.
Allen said: “To beat Hereford and to then come [to Cambridge] and draw is good. Our performance sets us up and we will continue this way of playing and continue the tempo.
“We look forward and I think it will go to the last day. We will have to be there on the last day and we all know that on the last day we are special.
“We’ve been there so many times before and these players can do it on the last day, there is no doubt.”
Meanwhile, Curtis Weston will miss the home game with Rovers and Tuesday’s trip to Southport after picking up his 10th booking of the campaign in the stalemate at Cambridge.
