Barnet manager Paul Fairclough is happy with the way his squad is shaping up for the new season.

The Underhill outfit missed out on the play-offs last season and Fairclough is determined to go a step better.

Barnet lost 2-1 in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Arsenal but he was satisfied with the performance.

Fairclough told BBC London 94.9: "We had more efforts on goal in the first-half, the kids did well and I am happy with the starting line-up."
