His team head into tomorrow's clash with Morecambe on the back of a run that has seen them claim 14 points from a possible 18 during March.

The Barrow boss hailed an "outstanding achievement" from his side to prove their doubters wrong as a brace from in-form Cole Stockton and a late clincher from Robbie Gotts lifted the Cumbrians up to fifth in the table, six points behind third-placed Wrexham with a game in hand.

Wild said the win was the perfect response to those who had dismissed Barrow's chances barely a month ago.

Wild said: "There were a lot of people who wrote us off at the end of February. A lot of people said ridiculous things; things I remember if everyone else doesn't.

"But we have hit back with 14 points out of 18 points. It is an outstanding achievement.

"We always knew if we were in and around it coming into March, we had a real opportunity with five out of six home games. We have delivered on that.

"I am so proud of everyone.
