Barrow joint boss Dave Bayliss was delighted with the way his side controlled the game as they beat Altrincham 1-0 at Moss Lane.

Winger Craig Nelthorpe's winner on Tuesday night means the Bluebirds have now lost just once in their last 14 games in all competitions.

Bayliss told BBC Cumbria: "We got a deserved goal and were worthy winners.

"Looking at the stats, we had 10 shots on target compared to their one, and that shows our complete dominance."

From start to finish, I thought the wingers - Nelthorpe and Paul Rutherford - were a real nuisance Dave Bayliss

Despite being on top throughout the game, Barrow had to wait for the breakthrough, with Nelthorpe's 25-yard strike coming five minutes from the end.

And Bayliss admitted he was concerned his players were not going to make their supremacy count.

"The longer the game went on you thought it might be one of those nights where you dominate the game but they go and nick one," he said.

"From start to finish, I thought the wingers - Nelthorpe and Paul Rutherford - were a real nuisance.

"If we'd have won the game by four or five, nobody could have complained."
