Manager Phil Parkinson says Bradford's Capital One Cup semi-final clash with Aston Villa can show they are a team finally on the rise.
Parkinson accepts a two-legged tie favours Paul Lambert's Villa, but knows what it takes to beat Premier League opposition. "We've just shown the lads some footage from the Arsenal game, to remind them of the discipline and the shape of the team and how well we worked as a unit in that game," he said. "But also, when we won the ball back we played with a calmness and that's important because we know that if you keep giving Premier League teams the ball back, it becomes a long night. "We've got to be up for the game, committed, we've got to use the crowd to take us on to another level, but also we've got to play with that composure and calmness in possession. "The lads have shown that they can compete against the best teams, we also know we have to be right at our best and Aston Villa will have to be well below par for us to progress, but anything can be achieved and we've got a group of lads who are going to relish the challenge."
