Boss praises performance.

John Coleman had nothing but encouragement for his players after they defeated Bradford City 2-0 at the Crown Ground.


The victory came thanks to a brace from John Miles and was the perfect tonic to a run of three games without a win including the midweek disappointment at Lincoln.


“It’s a massive three points,” said Coleman. “We knew we were getting progressively better with our performances and thankfully we turned a decent performance into three points. It makes up a little bit for Tuesday but we can’t pass up too many more opportunities if we want to get where we want to get.”


Both goals came in the second half after a cagey first 45 minutes that was a long way from a classic. But the show of resilience and patience from his men left the Stanley manager delighted.


“I thought it was a very professional performance. They worked ever so hard and we produced some good passing movements. We had a little bit of a let off early in the second half when the lad blazed over the bar but apart from that they haven’t carved out a chance in open play.


“We scrambled a corner away but that was about them then; that’s all they had. We were a constant threat all day, on the front foot and wanted to take the game to them even when they threw four up front at the end.”


Having only made one change from the side that lost at Sincil Bank, Coleman admitted that he was happy with the response he got.



“I think the players should take all the praise because they’re the ones that have worked their socks off to get the three points and they realise how big they are.”
