Bees boss Brennan reassures 'worrier' Williams

Barnet boss Dean Brennan revealed he had "come for" Zac Williams at half-time in the game at Bristol Rovers on Saturday - before the defender's long-range strike set them on their way to victory.

The Bees were a goal down at the break but Adam Senior's equaliser on 79 minutes and a red card for Rovers' Tommy Leigh gave the visitors momentum.

And it was Williams who put them ahead, latching on to Jack Maskell's knock down and firing a 25-yard, left-footed shot into the net, via the underside of the crossbar.

"I was screaming not to shoot," Brennan told BBC Radio London.

"I was thinking just keep the pressure on them but he's hit an absolute beauty.

"I had come for Zach at half-time, I was frustrated with him. I said to him he needs to do better, he needs to do more.

"He's a little bit of a worrier, the kid. He worries a little bit about different things.

"He knows [Nikola] Tavares is back, but it doesn't mean he's not going to play. We took out [Romoney] Crichlow and we put him left-centre back.

"He did a great job for us. He was brilliant second half and wow, what a goal."

Kabongo Tshimanga's stoppage-time strike completed a 3-1 win for Barnet, who are now unbeaten in 17 league games, dating back to a home defeat by Newport County in March.
