BARROW AFC boss Pete Wild says his side need to be aware of the threat posed by tomorrow’s visitors Harrogate Town.

The Sulphurites shocked many by claiming a 0-0 draw away to Wrexham in midweek.

But while Wild admitted to being surprised that Town managed to shut out Wrexham, he is well aware of their form on their travels.

He said: “I think if you look at away form in our league, our analyst was showing me on Wednesday that Harrogate are second in the league for away form.

“They have got up to the 50 point mark in the league, which I think is a fantastic achievement for Harrogate.

“And they have got there by taking most of those points on the road, so they definitely won’t be taken lightly, and we know they are a team that we really need to focus in on.”

Holker Street has been a fortress for the Bluebirds for the majority of the season, and Wild aims to continue that trend, he isn’t taking it for granted.

He added: “People might look at it and think we should do well because we now have three games on the bounce at home.

“I don’t think it will be as simple as that. Yes we want to do well at home and we set out to do well at home and tomorrow is no different.

“But we need to try to be the best version of ourselves and have to make sure we are good with the ball and make the right decisions.

“And when we haven’t got the ball, it is about doing what we need to do to negate the threats they have.”

The Barrow boss is looking for more of the same from his side at Holker Street tomorrow.

A three-match unbeaten run has lifted spirits among the Bluebirds supporters, and Wild is pleased with how things are going.

“The gameplan hasn’t changed. We speak to the players in training and show them what they are doing well and speak to them about doing the right things and showing them that that’s what has got us here.

“As a team we like to get the ball down and play, and make sure we have got control of the football more than we have not.

“But in that spell where we weren’t getting the results it was maybe a mixture of the lads coming off the gas a little bit, maybe a little bit from us tactically as staff and the state of the pitches led to what we got in February time.

“Now we are playing how we starting to play how we want to play and that is very pleasing.”
