Bradford's Bower Insists 'We’re Not Afraid Of Anyone'

An impressive 3-0 win at Southport last Saturday in the FA Cup made it eight games without defeat for the Avenue.

After a difficult start to the season, that included a 5-0 home defeat to York City, Bower's men have found their feet.

Saturday's win was their fifth in the unbeaten run and now Bradford head to lowly Leamington looking to make it six.

“We’ve just got to try and keep this run going as long as possible,” said Bower. “I know it’s a boring old football cliche but we are just taking each game as it comes and trying to beat what’s in front of us.

“It’s good when you can see out on the pitch that the lads are playing with confidence. We’re moving the ball about well, the lads are backing themselves, taking people on and it’s paying off, things are working for us, we’re creating chances and looking really dangerous.

“We’re scoring goals from all areas, people are starting to trust each other, the strikers trust the defenders to keep teams out and vice versa with the defenders knowing that if they keep a clean sheet, one of the strikers has it in them to pop up with the winning goal.

“Over the last few weeks we’ve shown the aspects to our game and the strengths that we’ve got to show that we can go and beat anyone, and we’re not afraid of anyone.”
