IT was Bachman-Turner Overdrive who sang 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' in their 1974 hit single of the same name – and now Alex-Ray Harvey is echoing that message.

Whether or not the 25-year-old Barrow AFC midfielder is a fan of the Canadian classic rockers is something only he knows, but what is certain is Harvey has no doubt there is plenty more to come from him and his team-mates.

The Bluebirds head into the bank holiday double-header with a record of won two, lost two and drawn one from their first five Vanarama National League games of the 2016/17 season, with both wins coming on their home turf.

The defeats away to expected promotion contenders Tranmere Rovers and last season's beaten play-off semi-finalists Dover Athletic perhaps do not look too bad in that context, but Harvey is in no doubt Barrow were not anywhere near their best in either game.

"I don't think we've hit the heights yet as a team and we can all admit that as well, so I think there is still a lot more to come from us," said Harvey.

"It's a good thing that we've started strongly at home and carried that on, but the main thing is we haven't reached our height yet.

"Generally, it's been an okay start. The good thing about the group is we would have liked a better start and there are games we've lost where we think we should have got a point or maybe taken all three.

"When we look back (at the away games), they are teams who are going to be up there - especially Tranmere and Dover. As a group, we still feel we could have done more and we're only a month into the season, so it's good that, as a group, we have high expectations for ourselves."

The 3-1 loss at Dover proved a particularly frustrating one for Barrow boss Paul Cox, who was annoyed in the manner all three goals were conceded and, as a result, has put on extra defensive drills in training this week.

Harvey and his team-mates shared that frustration as well, and they are now looking to tomorrow's clash with Braintree Town at Furness Building Society Stadium and Monday's trip to promoted North Ferriby United as an opportunity to right a few wrongs.

"We are an honest group and I think that's why, in the games we have been beaten, we all get around each other and say 'we're better than this,'" said Harvey.

"We aim to put it right with the next game that comes and we've got a great opportunity on Saturday and Monday to get six points, and try to go on some sort of run."

"Braintree are always a strong, solid team and we don't fear anyone at home, so that will be one for us to look forward to. Ferriby have just come up and sides like that are normally very good at home, but it's a chance to put things right away from home from our perspective.

"Home is a fortress and we are very strong there. It's good we've started with a strong home run, but I think we definitely need to improve on our away form and, like I said, Monday is a great chance for us to do that."

Harvey is determined to take a lead in ensuring this Barrow side reach the potential he sees there, particularly as he is now regarded as one of the senior players in the team despite his relative youth.

Now into his fifth full season with the Bluebirds, the Burnley youth system product is relishing that role and will do all he can to aid what he believes is the strongest group of players he has been involved with in that time.

"I see myself in that sort of role now and I enjoy it," said Harvey. "I've been here a long time now and if players aren't really sure about the surroundings or things that are going on around the club, I'm normally the one to be asked about that.

"I've been here a while now and it means a lot to try to drive the boys on. I've been in a lot of teams and I really do believe this is the strongest team I've been in, so it's important for me to drive us on and hopefully we'll do well this years."
