Leaders Yeovil suffered another setback in their title quest when they followed up Boxing DayÂ’s defeat at Forrest Green with a home draw.
Barnet came to defend and they did it well .Although Yeovil rained in 15 shots goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt was well protected by his defence in which loan signing Ian Hendon from Sheffield Wednesday was the star.
Naisbitt made one crucial save in the 40th minute when he touched a 25-yard free-kick from Michael McIndoe around a post and he saved his side at the expense of a red card in second-half stoppage time.
Sub Andy Lindegaard broke clear and seemed certain to score for Yeovil when the keeper brought him down outside the area. "I have no complaints, it was all he could do," said Barnet manager Peter Shreeves.
The visitors paraded the LeagueÂ’s top scorer Junior Agogo and he had the only two chances Barnet created. They came early in the second half and he wasted them both.
Yeovil forced 11 corners as they sought the elusive goal and Darren Way shot over midway through the second half when he might have scored.
Although the Somerset team are the leading scorers in EnglandÂ’s top five divisions they are struggling for goals at the moment.
New signing Kirk Jackson is still looking to settle in with his new colleagues and boss Gary Johnson revealed after the match that Carl Alford, who was the most expensive signing in non-league football, had left the club by mutual consent.
Johnson commented: "It was a very frustrating afternoon for us. I was disappointed that Barnet went into a shell. They have good footballers and it could have been much more entertaining."
