Tilson has kind words for Taylor

Lincoln manager Steve Tilson sympathised with under-fire Bradford boss Peter Taylor but declared himself pleased with his side's 2-1 win. James Hanson put the Bantams in front after just four minutes but Delroy Facey and Gavin McCallum hit back for Lincoln to secure a fourth consecutive win for the Red Imps. He said: "I get on really well with Peter Taylor and I know what he must be feeling because four games ago we were right down there, but we have turned things around with four wins on the bounce. "Expectation levels are higher at Bradford than Lincoln so there is a bit more pressure on Pete, but I am sure he will get through this. "It was great to win away from home. We would have taken a draw beforehand. We had to reorganise when Adam Watts got injured in the warm-up. Patrick Kanyuka came into the side at the last moment for his debut. Central midfield is not his best position so it wasn't easy for him. "We didn't compete in the first 45 minutes and we didn't win enough of our battles. Luckily enough, we were still in the game at half-time and we came through strongly in the second half."
