Bradford City assistant coach, Steve Parkin, says the management were happy to see the run of form the Bantams have picked up over the past week, according to the club website.

City secured a thrilling mid-week victory over Leeds United in the Capital One Cup and this weekend, saw off Rochdale in League One.

The league win saw Bradford pick up their second away victory of the season after goals from former Rochdale midfielder Jason Kennedy and club top scorer James Hanson.

Parkin said to the club's official site: "We are delighted with the lads in every aspect really. 

"This game (vs Rochdale) probably wasn't one we wanted after Wednesday night and Leeds because we know that Rochdale are an energetic side that do test you physically. 

"Rochdale have the ability to move the ball quickly and really make you work but the lads were magnificent today (Saturday). 

"We fully expected the boys to be able to handle playing Wednesday and then Saturday but you never quite know until you get out there and play the game. 

"The lads seemed to get stronger as the game went on, which is testament to their fitness. 

"They showed real tenacity to stay in the game in the first period and then real quality in the second half to keep the ball well and score a couple of good goals. 

"This is a very good win for us. Rochdale have had a couple of good results recently so we delighted to come here and get the win. 

"We are delighted for the fans as well. They have dipped their hands in their pockets again today after the Leeds game and come here to support us in numbers. 

"We know it can be expensive following a football team so we really appreciate them turning up in their thousands once more - we are so pleased we can send them home happy with three points."
