Don't get carried away just because you beat Chelsea - that's Chris Hutchings' message to Bradford City players as they prepare for to face Leicester at Valley Parade.
Hutchings knows how much praise has been lavished on the players following their 2-0 win over Chelsea on Tuesday, but he is determined to keep their minds focused on Leicester.
Three players are nursing minor injuries - striker Dean Windass (groin), skipper Stuart McCall (calf) and left back Ian Nolan (calf) - but all are expected to be fit.
"We have had one good result, but that doesn't make us into a good team," Hutchings said. "Good teams are judged on a season and it is important we don't get carried away by beating Chelsea, well as we played.
"We know expectations are going to be very high and what we have got to make sure is that we work very hard over the next ten to 15 games. Then we will know how far we have got.
"We had some good performances last season, but we didn't maintain them. Now we have got to make sure we perform at a consistent level week in and week out.
"We have set high standards by playing the way we did against Chelsea. Now we have got to maintain those standards and it will be very difficult to do.
"Leicester have worked very hard over the years to establish themselves in the Premiership. They have quality players throughout their team.
"That includes new signings like Ade Akinbiyi as well as established players like Neil Lennon and Muzzy Izzet. So it is going to be a very difficult game."
Supporters will be looking for another eye-catching performance from Italian striker Benito Carbone following his superb debut against Chelsea when he scored City's second goal.
Hutchings said: "He is still working hard on his fitness.
"He was very tired after the game which was to be expected, but he was delighted with his performance and the goal he scored. He feels he can get fitter."
