Stanley start satisfies Cook

Accrington boss Paul Cook felt the 1-1 draw against Bradford was a fair result but he was disappointed not to claim victory.

Padraig Amond put Stanley in front against the run of play with a 74th-minute goal at the Crown Ground but Bantams substitute Alan Connell fired home an 83rd-minute leveller to rescue a point for the visitors. Cook, whose side have only lost one league game so far this season, said: "I think Bradford showed us the utmost respect but changing the way they played to stop us. "In the first half, they did well but we had a lively half-time team talk and we were better in the second half. "We got our goal and I thought we would see it out, but Bradford are a big powerful side and Alan Connell is a quality striker. "We have taken five points and we would have taken that at the start - now the lads have to try and repeat it."
