 David first of all injury wise, how was the squad? Everybody's fit and healthy. It was good that the boys got through the 120 minutes of the night and they've came back and they're all in good spirits this morning and they're looking forward to gaming Saturday. How have you managed it after Tuesday night? I think we had to look after players who obviously played most of the minutes. We had a league training session after they'd done their gym session and they went for a swim, so most of the recovery day for them and then we went back into doing a bit of shooting and a bit of tactical work tomorrow. Speaking to Jack there, the defeat hasn't really knocked too much of the gloss over. It's all about taking the positives of the comeback and almost getting through on Tuesday night. Yeah, I think it was a difficult game. It was a bit surreal to get it at half time, 3-1 down. I thought we'd played really well. We'd create most of the chances, maybe a cut of mistakes. After that we were fine. I say to the players at half time again I think we could go another level. I think we could lift the game again and we went out and done that. Disappointment, I've never seen a game out. It's another game where it's only five, six minutes left in a game. But great credit to the players because to be 3-1 down at home in a cup tie against one of the top teams of the league was very pleasing for me as a manager and I told the players after we went out and penalties which is a lot of it but I think if you've asked anybody at half time you're 3-1 down a very good sign that you did two penalty kicks then I think everybody would have been delighted. Just on Tuesday night, three times now? Yeah, of course. They're a very good side. I think we've changed the system three times now. We've played them. They have struggled to beat us a bit. They're through to the next round, the FA cup. But we just need to concentrate on myself. I think now we've scored nine goals in three games and we've drawn three games. So it's frustrating but the chances we're creating I think we've got 35 shots the other night. Credit to players, fitness levels, the way we played. I think the players were dynamic and I think they showed that throughout the whole entire game. I know you didn't get through but would you have rather what happened on Tuesday night seems the performance and the goals rather than a scrappy under par performance but you sort of scrapped 3-1 now? I think anybody wants you through. It's a cup game and as I said to players before the game it is a cup game. Let's go and try to get through to the next round. As I said, the goals we had scored were great goals. I thought we gave away a few cheap goals again. But the hardest thing in football is to score goals and we've managed to do that now. It's just that hopefully we can start the stock and try to keep a couple of clean shoots along the way with it. That's going to say, nine goals scored, the three draws. Is it a case at the moment that if you score two we'll score three? I just think the players are going to believe. Since I've been here we've been working on how we're going to play and we've been acting wise and sometimes it takes a while. But I thought they were a night everything clicked. I thought we were pastures of a player, we're dynamic, we could counter attack, we were up in second balls. I thought we would be too repeatable. But as I said before you've got to give both sets of players credit. For a four each draw on a cup game it's fantastic. Fantastic you watch. Probably a neutral bit as I said. I was proud of the players and they can take great heart from it because they're starting to believe that we can start putting performances and then hopefully turn them into wins. I was going to say to be able to play like that. You've got to have that confidence, haven't you? Of course. I think we've made football. We've changed the system slightly. We need to make sure that when we're playing at home we're brave. As I said the fans get behind us have been fantastic. These are things now. We need to keep pushing forward, keep everybody together. There's that bit of belief coming now because we've had massive pressure games playing Plymouth and Oxford and we've come through them challenges. We're against the top teams where I think the players we do have with their game. We're getting the mentality from every opportunity we've tried to play. Being 2-0 down in previous months, seeing the body language sort of indicate our confidence may have been pretty low on Tuesday night. There was no sense of anybody getting negative and they were confident they could get back into it. I think now when you're mentally fit and you're physically fit now anything that gets thrown you away now you can respond to it. I think every game we have, even at Plymouth, it was 3-H and we had two fantastic chances and injured time to go and win it. The players know now that when you are mentally and physically fit then everything's possible in football and if you've got 15, 16, 17, 18 players who are prepared to go and work and put in a shift when they come on a pitch then these are things that will span you good stead. How pleasing is that fitness as well as the minutes on the pitch and the mileage on the road as well that you've been doing? To travel down to Plymouth on Friday and a long journey back in Saturday and play 120 minutes on Tuesday is great credit, great testament to the players for their professionalism. I think how they recover them, how they sleep is so important. It's been a league one or a championship player, a league two player in England because there's so many games. So these things are about how you prepare and if you prepare properly for games then you've always got a chance of winning games. Confidence is high perhaps on the more side with George Miller doing very well leading the line up front. Is he making the place his own at the moment? Yeah, of course. I spoke to George last week and he made a chat and I told him that he had to do it with any team and he's been doing it and training and he got his chance at Plymouth and I thought he was excellent. He could have had a hard trick and even the other night I thought he played against two experienced and quick defenders and I think he gave him a torrid time. I think he's movement behind him. He's running off the ball and he's had lots. He scored three goals in two games and it's a great credit to George. David Ball, he's a striker by a tribe but doing business in midfield for you. It's one of these things that's well documented and we've had players missing through injury. Players, we don't have wide players such that we can play and we've found a sister now that we can get our best players playing and he's been one that's come in. He's been fantastic, fantastic attitude towards football, loves playing for Bradford and he's a credit to himself because he's started to work hard. He's scoring goals now and maybe when he came he wasn't much fit but I think he's got around the games now and you can see the difference in David's play. And Anton's been with you what a week or so? How's life working alongside him? Yeah, it's good. I always knew he was going to be. It's just about maybe making sure that the physical side and the medical side and the players who are injured and looking after players' wellbeing which he's an expert in. So these things, but also the coaching we do and everything else that we've put in place in the last three months and hopefully these wee bits will just add a wee bit more professionalism to the players. And how valuable to you is that extra set of eyes that extra set of ears? Yeah, of course, as I think anyone will tell you it's about getting people who can do a job that you're looking for. It's about someone coming in and helping you, someone who you trust, someone who's been a friend for the last eight, nine years and as I say, we've always wanted to work together and this is the right time and I think you'll see everybody come flourishing over the coming months and hopefully the coming seasons that we're here together. And what on the crowd on Tuesday night, just under 4,000, I think the noise levels were far higher than that, bearing in mind you've got another home game on Saturday as well, it's a real opportunity, isn't it? Yeah, of course. I think the fans have been fantastic every game, even the away games at Plymouth. They're still travelling down to games. I thought even last Tuesday night I thought the atmosphere's in Keral for such a low crowd but they get behind the team. They get behind the players and it says to the players it's one of these things now that if they're up for every challenge in every game and they get that work rate and that together in this, then I think by and for city it's one of the best places to play your football. Are you noticing a shift there as well? Yeah, I think we are. I think everybody's starting to see what we're doing. I think it's also frustrating when you come into a club and you miss a transfer when you're doing players that will be documented about pre-season and I think now the players are getting there and we need to make sure that if they can keep that level of fitness up and commitment and performance then the advantage of fans will always be behind you. And you mentioned to us after the game on Tuesday night that there's going to be no big overhaul in January. Are you in terms of your free agency signed up till sort of December January, Carl and Jim of course? Yeah, it's something we'll discuss in the coming weeks. I think Carl is halfway through January. I think Jim is the first week in January and it says it's this time of the year where we don't want to make overall changes. As I said before I just need to get players in who can complement the players we have. Also there might be a turn over of players leaving because it's January and some of the players might not be playing and they might want to move on. So we need to take a right bar and we don't want to make sure that January goes as smooth as we can without making too many overhaul changes to the club. And we're a morsel on Saturday what are you expecting from them? Yeah, they've been fantastic. They don't concede many goals. The fantastic result up at Sunderland during the week. We know they're going to be organised or going to be hard to break down. Very organised. You can go forward. You can cause your problems. Every team in the league does. So we just need to make sure that we can we can keep playing the intense that we've been playing at and hopefully we can cause all sorts of problems. But we know that everybody else in this league is usually whoever scores the first goal usually goes on and wins games. And a huge game bearing in mind what's to come after that? I don't think that happens. Yeah. I think every game is. I think every game is. But now we're at a stage where the valley parade everybody's got a bit of liveliness about them again. There's a buzz about a city. Everybody wants to go now. I think there's a lot of people coming back which we have to use to be advantage. And the people who are coming back who maybe haven't seen it over the last few months hopefully come back and get behind the team because this is what we need now. Keep saying the same thing. We'll go forward together and if we can do that then I'm sure we'll get away from where we are in the league.
