It was Rovers’ ninth consecutive league defeat, which has never happened before in the club's 142-year history.Adam Senior and Nnamdi Ofoborh put Barnet two goals in front at the break after a dominant first-half, before Mark Shelton and Callum Stead extended the advantage in the closing stages.

Speaking about the latest League Two defeat, Clarke said: “It’s a diabolical performance. I can only apologise, yet again, to our supporters to watch that, to come in the numbers, to watch that, can only apologise, diabolical. I've got nothing positive to say, didn’t look like any men, no leaders out there, no nothing. It was diabolical.”
