Barrow AFC have soared up the National League table off the back of five consecutive wins and manager Ian Evatt is determined to see his side keep on climbing ahead of a tricky run of fixtures.

Barnet's victory at AFC Fylde on Tuesday night meant the Bluebirds actually dropped a place to eighth, and they face a tricky task in regaining their place in the play-off positions on Saturday, as they travel to leaders Bromley.

Nonetheless, the trip to Hayes Lane is a chance for AFC to make it six straight victories for the first time since March 2008, the season in which they won promotion from the Conference North in such thrilling style via the play-offs.

It's too early to say whether Joel Dixon's stoppage time save from Connor Shields' penalty at Aldershot Town was a 'Sliding Doors' moment in Barrow's campaign, but the way they've kicked on from it has been very impressive.

Evatt said: "Earlier in the season, people were obviously raising their eyebrows and asking questions because we weren't getting the results, but I maintained all along that we'd improved as a team.

"We were playing really well, it was just individual errors, more than anything, that was costing us and us not being clinical enough in the final third.

"We needed that result against Aldershot, we needed to see it out and it's fine margins because we saved a penalty in the last seconds of that game and on that fine margin things have changed.

"We can't rest on our laurels, we're in a good run of form and we'll have to keep going for as long as we can. We've got a real tough run of five fixtures now, which are against teams in the top ten of the league, starting with the top of the league on Saturday, so it's a good test for us."

While midfielder John Rooney has been receiving plenty of plaudits for his seven goals in those five wins, Scott Quigley continued to be a consistent scorer for the Bluebirds, with his clinching goal against Maidenhead last Saturday his eighth in ten games.

Evatt said: "He is as good as I've seen with both feet [in front of goal]. He strikes it equally as good with either foot where you wouldn't be able to tell if he was left-footed or right-footed and that's the best compliment.

"He shoots comfortably with either foot and he strikes it instinctively and with power and pace.

"He's also shown a different side to his finishing, with that little lob against Ebbsfleet away - that was an excellent finish.

"The reason why he wanted to join us was he was confident he was going to get chances and we have supplied him with some very good chances. Long may that continue."
