TYRELL Robinson admitted he closed his eyes when scoring the first goal of Simon Grayson’s City reign.

But the exciting winger is fully focused on the task of making sure that their season does not go to waste.

The Bantams emerge from an 11-day break tomorrow with a tough test against Plymouth, currently the second best team in League One’s form table.

Taking on opponents boasting five straight wins is a big ask for a side who lasted tasted victory nine games ago on January 1.

But Robinson believes they have come through the worst of it – and is eager to get the Grayson era going with that elusive three points.

He said: “It’s time things changed now. These two draws we’ve had have shown that a win is on its way and it’s going to come soon.

“Having this gap between games has given us a chance to work with the new manager and see what he has to offer.

“A lot of the boys have been looking forward to that and seeing where we go from here.

“It’s going to be a long trip down to Plymouth but it’s been good to be back on the training pitch and we’re ready for it.”

Robinson’s equaliser at Charlton, just four minutes after going on as a sub, maintained his record of scoring significant goals.

With his previous winners against Wigan and Rochdale, the youngster’s three efforts so far have been worth five points to City.

But he has warned new boss Grayson that there may not be many more from where that last one at the Valley came from, the smallest man on the field popping up with a bullet header to convert Charlie Wyke’s cross.

“I’ve never scored a header in my life,” laughed Robinson. “When I went to head it, I even closed my eyes for a second!

“I’m not the most confident person when it comes to heading. So, when I opened my eyes and saw it had gone in, I just thought ‘wow’.

“It was just a fantastic feeling. I was over the moon.

“Anyone reading that Chas crossed it for me would have thought they’d got it confused. It’s supposed to be the other way round.

“But Chas did well to get the ball in the box and I was told in training to get in front of my marker. Because I’m not the biggest, it’s about catching them out.

“The defender probably didn’t realise I was there because I came quite late to the front post.”

Robinson’s late heroics clinched a justified comeback point in Grayson’s first game in charge. He noticed a more steely look about a Bantams side who have not recorded a shut-out for three months, even though the manager had only been in the job for two days.

Robinson added: “I was watching from the bench and thinking we were playing differently. But it did look good.

“We were getting more stuck in and you could tell we didn’t want to concede.

“You’ve seen in the previous games we’ve conceded quite a few goals. Now we just have to kick on and defend as a team.

“Our attacking side of the game is good but we just need to stop all these goals going in to get in the top six.

“It’s been a long time since we got a clean sheet but I’m sure the next one is going to come.”
