September saw Barnet play two away fixtures. A visit to Exeter City resulted in a 1-1 draw, after Idris Kanu's opening goal was cancelled out seven minutes later. The following week, Barnet drew 3-3 against Chesterfield, having led the match three times. Joel Randall's late strike in stoppage time secured a point for the home side.
The team then returned to The Hive for two home games. Barnet secured a 2-1 victory against Accrington Stanley, with Charlie Lakin scoring twice in the second half to overturn Charlie Caton's first-half lead. In the subsequent match, Barnet defeated Fleetwood Town 2-1. Despite an early penalty from Tshimanga for Fleetwood, second-half goals from Lakin and Idris Kanu secured the win and top spot for Barnet.
