VICTORY over Shaw Lane on Sunday can bring the feel-good factor back to Barrow AFC and kick-start their season.

Striker Jordan White, whose own season was given a timely boost by a goal in the 2-2 draw against Leyton Orient last weekend, is confident the Bluebirds can build on a good result in Barnsley (3pm kick-off).

Barrow are seven games without a win in the National League, but 25-year-old White – who will be making his FA Cup bow at Shaw Lane – feels it will only take one victory to turn things round.

“It's a chance for us to kick-start our season,” he said. “A good FA Cup run can give you a really good feel-good factor around the place – it can take you on a great journey.

“It's massive that we go and put a good performance in and get a result on Sunday. We've been playing well, but we've probably not been getting the results recently that we deserve.

“Hopefully, we can put that right on Sunday, and that can maybe kick-start our season, as well as giving us a run in the FA Cup.”

He added: “I was involved in the equivalent to the FA Trophy up in Scotland with Livingston (the Scottish Challenge Cup in 2014/15), and we went on to win that. The feel-good factor from that is brilliant.

“You increase that, because it's the FA Cup, and you could come up against anybody.”

White insists he is not underestimating Sunday's hosts, who are sitting top of the Evostik Premier Division, and who have lost just one in seven home matches in the league this season.

Shaw Lane gained promotion as champions of Evostik Division One South, and had not won an FA Cup game in their history before their first qualifying round success against Radcliffe Borough.

Further victories over Blyth Spartans and Lancaster City have followed, and White knows the Bluebirds will be in for a tough afternoon in South Yorkshire.

“For me, I'm not underestimating them at all,” said the former Wrexham man, who missed out on the competition last season due to a blood infection which forced him to miss the opening months of the campaign. “They're having a great season, they're top of their league, so they're obviously a decent team.

“It will be like a cup final for them, because they're going up a couple divisions to play us. Going into these games, they're never going to be pretty, they're never going to be easy – it's about us working hard, doing what we can do, and believing in ourselves. Then we can go and get a result.”

White feels AFC are playing well and it is only a matter of time before that positive result comes, and he added: “We're all playing well, we're all working really hard, and at the moment, sometimes in football when the chips are down, the luck goes against you.

“We've just got to keep plugging away, keep believing in what we are doing. Then we will put it right.

“Everybody has been working really hard in training, and it is only a matter of time before we get things going our way and we go on a run.”
