Grazioli goes out on loan

Giuliano Grazioli has gone on a month's loan to Ryman Premier League side, AFC Wimbledon. Grazioli, who has scored 64 goals in 108 appearances for the Bees, has not played so far this season after recovering from keyhole surgery on a knee problem. Grazioli scored 29 goals in Barnet's Conference Championship winning season 2004-05 and they were a huge contribution to the Bees success and led to him being named Nationwide Conference player of the year. Grazioli signed in the summer of 2003 after being released by Bristol Rovers.

Meanwhile, Neal Bishop is set to return to the side for tomorrow's game at Victoria Road against newly promoted Dagenham & Redbridge after serving his three match suspension following his sending off at Norwich City last month in the Carling Cup. The former York midfield player who signed for Barnet in the summer, has looked like he will be a major player for the Bees this season and his influence to the side has been missed.

Bishop's return is likely to be the only change to the side that won 2-1 at home to Bradford City last Saturday with either Max Porter or Josh Wright expected to stand down. It will be interesting to see if Jason Norville is among the substitutes. Norville, who was signed from Watford two years ago, was released in the summer following continual injury problems which restricted him to just 11 first team starts and scoring 3 goals in two seasons. Manager, Paul Fairclough has given Jason a one month trial on a non contract basis to prove himself.

Possible starting line up: Harrison; Devera, Yakubu, Burton, Gillet; Carew, Porter, Bishop, Puncheon; Birchall, Thomas.

Subs: Beckwith, Nicolau, Wright, Hatch, O'Cearuill
