DAVID Dunn believes Bar-row will only improve following their opening-day draw against Stevenage.
The Bluebirds were returning to the Football League for the first time in 48 years and led after just 12 minutes through a Dior Angus penalty.
But they were unable to get the killer second goal with Jamie Cumming making two excellent saves to keep out Mike Jones and Tom Beadling midway through the second half.
Kgosi Ntlhe headed against the crossbar after 78 minutes as the chances came and went. It proved costly when former Barrow man Inih Effiong slotted home a penalty with four minutes to go following a foul by Brad Barry.
“We will get better. It is a new group of players and we will improve as the season goes on,” said the Barrow manager.
“It was the first Football League game here in years, so maybe nerves were there. I want to take the positives.
“We are off the mark and, hopefully, that will calm people down.
“It is a bit disappointing that we could not hold on to the win,” he added,
“We have got some good players and we are naturally disappointed to have conceded a penalty so late.
