Yet to see Bradford City conceded a goal since he took over as manager, Michael Duff was uncomfortable at how chaotic their 2-0 win over Peterborough United felt, but pleased to see his team growing as a goal threat.

The Bantams' rock-solid defence saw them to victory with Jon McCracken making two important saves early in the second half but Duff took the job saying his side needed to score more goals, and they created enough excellent chances to easily add to the ones scored by Macaulay Gillesphey and Adam Phillips.

Asked how he saw the game, Duff replied: "Chaotic.

"In the first half I didn't think we were great, quite a few things we didn't like about it.

"The positives are we scored from a set-play, which we hadn't done. We had a good goal disallowed from a set play that shouldn't have been disallowed and created a one-on-one.

"So to be disappointed with the half and to have created those chances was a real positive for us.

"I thought the second half we controlled a lot better and just missed chance after chance and we had another good goal disallowed (for Will Swan), which was frustrating.

"If it had been 0-0 you would have blamed the officials but we had enough chances to score a lot.

"We rode our luck a little bit – Robbie (Savage, Peterborough's manager) would say they had a couple of chances – but if we're talking about a game based on chances, we had a lot more."

Gillesphey's goal was significant as the first Bradford had scored from a corner since Duff replaced Graham Alexander in the last international break.

"It's something we know we have to improve," admitted Duff.

"Arsenal won the league last season, the best set-play team, Coventry won the Championship - best set-play team, Lincoln - best set-play team (in League One), Bromley – (League Two's best set-play team.

"The delivery was good (by Callum Connolly), it was a good header from Macca. I've no idea why the second goal (also for Gillesphey) was disallowed, there was no contact made with the goalkeeper at all.

"But the fact we're becoming more of a threat, it's hopefully signs of progress."

And after consecutive 0-0s in the league, he believes it will pay dividends in the long run.

"It has to if we can keep doing it," he insisted.

"The underlying data tells you the amount of corners we've had, the amount of crosses, touches in the box and big chances in games – not just chances, big chances.

"We missed two from the middle of the six-yard box against Oxford, who have just gone and beaten Stockport.

"Adam Phillips has had a couple of chances, two off the line, four one-v-ones today, the law of averages say at some point you'll score three or four."

The draw for the quarter-finals is on Wednesday evening. Bradford and League Two Fleetwood Town, who knocked Arsenal out on penalties, will be the only Football League representatives.

"Hopefully the club get what they want in terms of a plum draw," said Duff.

"I think anyone would want a Premier League team here; if you're not going to get that you'd like to go to somewhere like Anfield or wherever."
