PETE Wild saw both positives and negatives in his Barrow side’s performance after their hopes of making the League Two play-offs took a hit following a goalless away draw to Swindon.

“I think we’ve had some really good opportunities. We knew we were going to sit in for a lot of it. We knew we were going to let them have the balls,” Wild said afterwards. 

“A lot of teams do it to them and frustrate them. So, we let them have the ball at times. We counter-attacked well and, at other times, not so well.

“The out-of-possession structure was bang on and we limited Swindon to very little opportunities in front of goal. They had a lot of the football, but they didn’t have a lot of clear-cut opportunities on goal.
