Boss blasts below-par Bantams

Boss Peter Taylor felt Bradford were their own worst enemy and must improve defensively after losing 4-0 at Cheltenham. A Jeff Goulding double helped the Robins record their biggest win of the season as they moved into the play-off places. Marlon Pack and Wes Thomas were also on the scoresheet. "We gave them three goals," said the former England coach. "We had the ball and gave it away in bad areas. That's very poor on our part and I think nine times out of 10 you concede goals when you haven't got good shape and we have certainly done that of late. Whether it is because the younger ones are not as consistent as they should be, I don`t know. "Going forward we always looked as though we were going to score. We had a good chance just before they scored their first goal and they then go down the other end where we make a mistake in an important area. "I don't want to take anything away from Cheltenham but some of the things that happened were down to our mistakes." Taylor added: "Gareth Evans has been desperate to start and I said to everyone afterwards that he was our best player by miles. He showed how desperate he has been to get back into the team - we could have done with a few more like that."
