Nicky Law took a swipe at the critics as he hailed City's Welsh wonders.

The Bantams claimed their first win of the season with a 2-0 triumph at Cardiff thanks to wonder goals from Andy Gray and Lewis Emanuel.

It was the perfect response following the bitterly-disappointing Carling Cup exit to Darlington which produced a storm of criticism including an attack from chairman Gordon Gibb, who labelled Law's tactics in that game as "Third Division".

Law, pictured, said: "Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon when you have a little blip in the week and a poor result. That doesn't help and I'd rather people be positive about things than negative.

"We lost on penalties, so at the end of the day that's three games we've now gone unbeaten.

"If we can perform like we did at Cardiff for the rest of the season then we might have a chance of proving a few people wrong and staying in this league."

Dean Windass admitted City had plenty to prove at Ninian Park and said: "We've upset a lot of football coupons, it was a massive win for us. We've answered the critics now and having set the standard we'll look to keep that going."
