Peter Taylor is hoping his Bradford side can build on their impressive Carling Cup victory over Nottingham Forest. Goals from David Syers and James Hanson secured a shock 2-1 win against the Championship outfit and raised spirits following Bradford's disappointing opening-day defeat at the hands of Shrewsbury. Taylor told the Telegraph and Argus: "We did say at half-time that you work hard in pre-season and you don't want to lose two out of two. That's not a great start because then, all of a sudden, the confidence dips. "We weren't great on Saturday against Shrewsbury, they were better than us second half. But I thought we were very good in the second half of this match and did very well. It's given the players a massive boost but they've had to work extremely hard." The Bantams trailed Forest at the break but roared back following the introductions of half-time substitutes Hanson, Syers and Simon Ramsden. "In the second half we tried to make it more like a decent cup tie," added Taylor. "We weren't playing as well as we would have liked and the big fella up front (Hanson) gave us another option."
