Boss Aidy Boothroyd made one change to the side that had beaten Exeter in the previous game with Kemar Roofe coming in for Ishmel Demontagnac. Dutch legend and former Champions League winner Edgar Davids started for Barnet.
With 10 minutes on the clock, an Emyr Huws free-kick from 25-yards went just wide. At the other end, Lee Nicholls did well to tip over a John Oster free-kick.
Edgar Davids was booked on 14 minutes, the former Juventus midfielder shown a yellow card for persistent infringement. Chris Hackett then had his name taken for a foul on Anthony Edgar.
A neat lay off from Clive Platt on 25 minutes set up Alex Nicholls who couldn't quite direct his shot on target. A minute later and the Cobblers had strong appeals for a penalty turned down following a challenge on Kemar Roofe.
On the half hour mark a downward header from Platt was well saved by Graham Stack. Clovis Kamdjo joined Davids in the referee's notebook after bringing down Huws.
