Wetherall turns on Bantams

Bradford City's caretaker-manager David Wetherall admitted he was left angry and hurt following the club's relegation to League Two.
The Bantams needed to win their remaining two fixtures and hope other results went in their favour, but fell at the first hurdle as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at fellow relegated side Chesterfield on Saturday.
And after the loss a furious Wetherall turned on his players, saying: "I'm being careful about what I say but we didn't perform on the day.
"The fans have been first-class. They came in their numbers and gave us magnificent backing again and they deserved much better which makes it even more frustrating.
"I feel a degree of anger. We just weren't good enough, it's as simple as that. We got exactly what we deserved and that was nothing at all.
"I'm hurting. It's sad for myself and for the club and it's an understatement to say I'm very, very disappointed."
