Player Career Stats

Below are the career stats for the Barnet Squad of 2011/12.

The club announced the 1112 squad list on 30 July 2011. The only new player since last season is Danny Senda, who has been given number 2. On 02 August it was announced that Dean Brill has been signed as goalie, and gets the number 1.

All other players retained their numbers from last season with the exceptions of:

• Anwar Uddin: 6 to 15
• Mark Byrne: 31 to 8 (although he'd also had number 16 as he had two loan spells)
• Sam Cox: 13 to 14 (superstition returns to Underhill?)

Number 7 was finally allocated to Cedric Baseya in November who has now left the club following a short loan. Number 6 was given to Exodus Geohagan, who joined the club on a one month deal after the season began. He is no longer with the club.

As of January, 37 is the highest number allocated. Number 13 has predictably not been used, and intruigingly neither has 29. (Or if it has - say, to a youth player - it has not been publicised.) 32 to 36 have not been used either; I suspect Obita has 37 for a particular reason.

This list shows the number of appearances (started and came on as sub), and goals scored. Players who have not appeared for the First Team are also shown.

They are sorted by career appearances, then career sub appearances. Note that some of the players are shown with (number) - see the notes below for more information.

Players' season stats can be found in the relevant season section, eg season 2009/10.

Past players' stats are also available.

Note that this table can be sorted or filtered using the Firefox TableTools extension. There is more information about this here.

1. No longer with club.
2. Out on loan, see below for more details.
3. Jordan Parkes signed for the club after a loan spell in the 0708 season. His last senior appearance from his first spell was on 03/05/2008 with 7 starts, 3 substitutions and 0 goals. His first appearance in his second spell was 07/08/2010.
4. Sam Deering signed for Barnet after a loan spell in the 1011 season. His last senior appearance from his first spell was on 07/05/2011 with 14 starts, 2 substitutions and 2 goals. His first appearance in his second spell was 06/08/2011.
5. Mark Byrne signed after two earlier loan spells in the 1011 season. His last SA from his first spell was on 20/11/2010 with 18 starts, 1 substitution and 4 goals (with squad number 16, which was issued to Anthony Pulis before Byrne rejoined). He made his first SA in his second spell on 05/03/2011 and last on 07/05/2011 with 29 starts, 2 substitutions and 6 goals. His first appearance in his third spell was 06/08/2011.
6. Sam Cox's last game is recorded as 26 March 2011 but he also played in the Herts Senior Cup final on 12 April 2011. These games aren't included in the above stats.

Appearances

The appearance details on this page usually come from the the details on the match reports that are published on the BBC. If any of these are disputed then I shall seek clarification from the club.

Still with Club?

Whether or not a player is with the club is taken from the official website. There are sometimes players where there has been no announcement from the club - usually fringe players. I do keep an eye on this and occasionally contact the club to clarify. See notes below for more information about this. Players who leave the club without making an appearance remain on this list until the end of the season but do not subsequently appear on the past players' stats.

Squad Number

Both the Home programmes and official website. This is the squad number allocated to the player for the current season, presently 2008/09.

If two players have the same squad number this is where a player coming into the squad is issued with a number of a player who has already left. I occasionally contact the club to clarify where there seems to be a mistake on either the site or the programme (which is indeed what it has always turned out to be so far!)

Names

I use the names as they appear on the Barnet programmes. There are sometimes inconsistencies in the names that the players use on their shirts and what appears on other sites and papers.

Any comments?

If you think I may have overlooked something, especially if you have some evidence you can cite (such as a link to an authorative website), then I should be grateful if you contact me on info@bfcsa.co.uk

Thanks, John Snow, Website Editor.

Notes

Play Off Games
Play-off games are treated as League games for the purposes of these stats.

Penalties after Extra Time
Goals scored as penalties after extra time are not counted. (Should they be? I don't think they are generally with these sort of stats? info@bfcsa.co.uk if you have any thoughts on the matter.)

No Squad Number
Players without a squad number (?) have been announced as registered with the club (see below for more information about this) at some point in the present season. For example, Tim Trebes (2007/08 season) was called upon as an emergency sub goalie when one of the regular goalies was out injured. He was registered with Barnet even though he played for a different club in a lower league.

Player Still With Club?
You'd think this was easy. But like most things in life, it's not that simple once you start looking into it. The below is based on my understanding of the situation, but please don't take it as gospel - and if you can clarify anything, or point out any errors, then I'd be pleased to hear from you on info@bfcsa.co.uk

When the squad numbers are announced, usually in July, there is a nice clean list to go by. But as the season progresses various players may be registered without contracts; typically these will be free-agents and trainee players (from the Hive).

The way I understand it, a player has to be registered with the club to play for the club. However, they don't have to be contracted to the club. In theory a player can be registered to the club indefinitely even though neither the player nor the club has any intention of them playing. The player would only need to be de-registered if another club in the same league wanted to register them. It would seem silly to consider such players as 'with the club'.

So, in the above list, a player is considered to still be 'with the club' if:

• They are contracted to the club; or
• They have been given a squad number and the season has yet to finish

A player is not considered to still be with the club if:

• They have been released; or
• They are not contracted to the club, the season has finished and the new squad numbers have not been announced (typically between May and July).
• They never had a squad number (or it wasn't published) and the season has finished (typically between May and July). Usually trainee players.
• Their squad number is being used by a different (more recent) player.

All the above scenarios are caveated with "unless there is reason to believe otherwise".

An example of this is if they have appeared on the squad list on the back of Barnet programmes but no longer do so, although there has otherwise been no official confirmation from the club. Not all players who have been issued squad numbers appear on the programme squad list so their absence does not necessarily mean they are not part of the squad. (I said it was complicated didn't I?)

Many thanks to Kev Mullen from whose explanations, and patient answers to my questions, the above has been derived.

Note that this article on the official site, published on 10 May 2010, says that successful candidates for the 16-18 Football Education Programme (in partnership with Stanmore College) will be registered as a Barnet FC player (non-contract). I presume the same goes for the scholars also mentioned in that article. While these students and scholars would satisfy the criteria above (ie they are registered as players) the lack of other information about them means it would be pointless to attempt to include them on this page.

Career Goals Percentage
This page includes the Goals percentage column that is on the season stats page. The same caveats apply. Namely, for those players who have scored, it is the percentage of goals compared to appearances. So if a player has scored two goals in four appearances then it will be 50%. It is not the percentage of appearances in which they have scored as in the previous example those two goals may have been scored in the same game.

Similarly, it does not discriminate between starts and came on as sub (or replaced by a sub). The excel sheet I use for this is not that sophisticated.

Note that the figure is rounded to the nearest percentage.

First SA
This is the date the player made their first Senior Appearance (ie in the first team). This includes either a start or came on as sub in either a league or cup game, including the Football League (Johnstone's Paint) Trophy but not including the Herts Senior Cup.

This is no indication as to the date the player actually joined the club.

Last SA
This is the date the player made their last Senior Appearance. This is no indication as to the date the player actually left the club.

Lee Harrison's Stats
Note that his first spell's stats have been corrected from 09 September 2007 as it was realised there was a mistake on this site. The previous error was due to an incorrect figure published in (or copied from) a Barnet programme some years ago, which was used for his stats on this site up till that point. Lee's stats have now been checked through the various Football Year Books, past Barnet programmes, and Steve Percy's meticulous records. They also agree with the club's own records.

The Soccerbase website also shows different figures, including a bogus substitute appearance against Stalybridge Celtic in 2001/02. Their figures are wrong.

Other Information
We have all the games played since the 1965/66 season on this site. It would be nice to list all the players that have played for the club. But although I believe the records exist, it could be too high a mountain to climb.
