00:00Bradford City manager Graeme Alexander said that he was not concerned

00:04and his side bowed out of the FA Cup against Cheltenham Town

00:08because the Bantams' performance level was good enough.

00:13Yeah, as I said, right after the game really,

00:18I thought the performance levels were right up there.

00:21Obviously disappointed with the goal that put us on the back foot,

00:25but the performance from that point was everything we wanted,

00:28apart from the finishing, you know, the end product

00:30and scoring from the numerous opportunities we had.

00:34So, and then on Monday, we just cracked on my work

00:39about building up towards the weekend.

00:41I think there's no point in dragging it around.

00:44We're out of the Cup, which we're disappointed with,

00:46but we've slowly fed back over the last two or three days.

00:52The sort of data, the shots, the crosses, the final third entries,

00:58all that sort of thing, which some of the heists for five years,

01:01sometimes it's just not your day and you can't burst the door down.

01:04But it wasn't through lack of trying, lack of effort.

01:07Every player put their lot into it, but we just couldn't,

01:10yeah, just couldn't find that finishing touch.

01:13And Bradford City goalkeeper Sam Walker made clear

01:17that the Bantams will look to be more clinical

01:19after they missed several chances in the loss against Cheltenham.

01:23Yeah, disappointing, disappointing to exit the competition.

01:26Obviously lost the game.

01:29Everything's been said on their goal.

01:31I think that there's nothing more needs to be said on that.

01:34But after that moment, I thought we were really good

01:37for 85, 90 minutes, created lots of opportunities.

01:42And on a different day, we scored two, three, maybe four goals

01:45and win the tie.

01:47That wasn't to be.

01:48We've spoken about that, looking at being more clinical

01:50when we can.

01:52So, yeah, as I say, disappointed to exit.

01:54But on reflection, performance-wise, after that first goal,

01:58I thought there were lots of positives.

02:00You're a very level group.

02:02How would you reflect on this current run of form?

02:05Are you looking at it too forensically

02:06or is it just small details?

02:07No, I think it's just the small details.

02:09I think it's remembering and reminding sometimes

02:12that we're in a very good spot.
