Taylor hails players after potentially job-saving win

Peter Taylor was relieved to see his Bradford side see off fellow strugglers Barnet 2-0. The Bantams boss has been under pressure following a disappointing start to the season and it was even suggested he could lose his job if City failed to win at Underhill. But goals from Leon Osborne and Tom Adeyemi gave Bradford their first away win of the season - and their first victory in five games in all competitions - to lift the West Yorkshire club out of the bottom two places. "I know there has been a few little things in the press - that it could have been the last game for me and all that type of thing, which I didn't believe," said Taylor. "But I think there were a lot players that were really up for it and it was good to see. Of course you think about the rumours about my job but I know this squad is a good squad. "I do know that if that had have happened and I would've gone, whoever came in would have got a very good squad." Taylor added: "You know, we haven't made too much of it or tried to make excuses but we have had a lot of injuries and I would say there are five or six players that could have played but didn't."
