Striker Scott Quigley is not expecting Barrow AFC to be given an easy ride of it when they travel to Ebbsfleet United tomorrow as they look to make it three National League wins in a row.

The Fleet may be bottom of the table, but there have been signs their squad, which was built almost from scratch during the summer, is starting to gel, as they’ve only lost one of their last six games.

Given how the Bluebirds dispatched Solihull Moors last week, they’ll be expected to pick up another three points down in Kent, but they certainly won’t be taking anything for granted, even though they’ll be going there in a confident mood.

Quigley said: “Anyone in this league can beat anyone and that is how you prepare yourself for every game. It’s just down to who prepares right at end of the day.

“I think it’s not a good time to play us, if I’m honest, because we’ve got our tails up and we are playing good football at the moment, so hopefully that can continue.

“We go again on Saturday and we’re looking to come back with nothing other than three points.”

Quigley returned from two weeks out with a thigh strain in the 3-0 win against Solihull and marked the occasion with his fifth goal in seven games, which ensured AFC had the game won with plenty to spare.

His finish across Moors goalkeeper Ryan Boot was that of a confident player and his side will need more of that type of clinical finishing if he gets a chance at Stonebridge Road.

Quigley said: “As a striker, I think hitting things early when the ‘keeper is not expecting it has always been something that I’ve tried to do.

“If you’re letting them get set, you give them a better chance to save it, but if I’m honest, before Dior [Angus] even passed to me I knew what I was going to do; I was going to get it out of my feet and I was going to hit it on my left.

“It just came naturally and when you’re getting the rub of the green and things are flying into the net, it’s hard to miss sometimes, but it’s not all about me, it’s definitely all about the team.”

Quigley is finding Barrow’s style of play more to his liking than what he endured during his loan spell at Halifax last season, where a safety-first approach meant he struggled to make much of an impression.

Quigley said. “I still get a couple of their fans tweeting me now saying they’d love to have me now and I’m thinking ‘I was the same player’, it was just the Halifax team wasn’t good enough.

“They were too defensive-minded - I want to play on the attack and we had six or seven lads who we used to defend with just two or three left up top.

“It just didn’t suit how I wanted to play and while I don’t want to take anything from the club, it wasn’t a good move for me.”
