Graham Alexander lauds Bradford's ‘great start' after cup win at Blackburn
The League One outfit continued their unbeaten start this season and flew out of the traps. Ibou Touray's volley set them on their way before Will Swan rolled a second into an empty net after a blunder from debutant goalkeeper Nick Michalski. Dion De Neve reduced the arrears before the break but Bradford deservedly held on. Alexander praised that fast start, saying: 'It's a great start for us. Two goals in four minutes. I thought we really went at them, showed we were here to compete and to win a game of football. I thought we played really well in the first half. 'Blackburn got a head of steam just before half-time, opened us up a couple of times. They get the goal from the long throw which is disappointing from our perspective, but we didn't let it affect our mindset going into the second half. 'Really tough game, had to work exceptionally hard out of possession but I thought we created really good opportunities to get an extra goal.' It was a miserable night for Valerien Ismael who confirmed captain Lewis Travis wants to leave. He said the poor start killed his team. 'We lost the game in the first five minutes. It's clear, two big mistakes. Not concentrating. After that, we were on the front foot, created a lot of chances. It's disappointing we kill us straightaway in the first five minutes.'
