Barrow AFC boss talks squad belief and 'staying humble'

The Bluebirds bring their strong form to the recently renamed Furness Building Society Stadium on Saturday, October 31 as they take on Eastleigh FC in National League action.

It comes on the back off a startling late comeback on Tuesday evening when Barrow came from two goals down with less than 20 minutes left on the clock, ultimately triumphing 3-2 away at Halifax Town.

"I would have preferred to have seen us showing an ability to come out and get the job done in the first place, because we weren't happy with the performance in the first half," Murray said.

"Once we got that first goal back, it was never in doubt that we'd keep pushing. Did I think we'd end up winning? Maybe not. But I always knew that we'd do everything we could to try."

For Murray, the first half against Halifax served as a reminder of the levels Barrow must maintain to compete, with the players thought to have approached the game with an air of complacency after a run of six straight wins in the league.

"Since the start of the season, I've been happy with about 99% of what I've seen and there have only been two occasions where I've really not liked our approach, including on Tuesday night.

"If we're not playing at 100% capacity and if we don't follow our philosophy, then we're just an average team. But if we go about things the right way, then we've always got a chance of winning every match.

"So, all in all, the performances I've seen from the players since the start of the season have largely been the same, but the belief in themselves to do what we train is better."

Murray refuses to get carried away with the Bluebirds' unbeaten run and shared that he has 'not mentioned it once' in any team talk or meeting.

"It's obviously great to win matches but, at this time of year, it doesn't mean anything in terms of actually winning trophies.

"All we can do is focus on the next game and stay humble, and then see where that takes us."
