Barrow on verge of 'dream season' as they look to secure play-off spot

Pete Wild led Barrow to a ninth-placed finish 12 months ago in his first season in charge
Barrow manager Pete Wild said his team are on the verge of a 'dream season' as they chase a play-off spot.
The Bluebirds are sixth, three points clear of Walsall in eighth, with three matches to play.
But they have only taken one point from their last four games.
"On day one of the season, with three games to go, probably needing one more win to secure our play-off journey, I would have said this is a dream season for Barrow," said Wild.
"It's an unbelievable scenario for this football club," he told 大象传媒 Radio Cumbria.
Barrow play away at in-form Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, with the South Yorkshire club having won eight games in a row to storm into play-off contention.
Currently in ninth, victory for Grant McCann's team would move them only a point behind the Bluebirds with two matches to go.
Despite his own side's recent stumbles, with a three-game losing streak halted by a draw with Crawley Town, Wild is excited to be in this position.
"This is what we signed up for," he said. "You want to be in the mix at this time of year.
"The staff and the players deserve immense credit for the job they are doing and where they have put this football club.
"It's been an outstanding season so far and we're close to getting the job done, which is fantastic."
