Bradford boss Peter Taylor admits his side are struggling to handle the pressure of playing at home. The Bantams have secured only one win from four league matches and slumped to successive home defeats to Preston in the Carling Cup and then Southend last week.

Taylor said: "People outside of Bradford must look at us and wonder why we can't do it.

"We've handled the crowd twice in the cup games, but there wasn't so much expectation. Is that our attitude and also our crowd's attitude?

"The crowd might have been a little bit more patient that time because it was Nottingham Forest and Preston. But I'm not having a go at them.

"Our crowd are magnificent and we gave them absolutely nothing against Stevenage and Southend."
