Robert Molenaar today pledged to help earn cash-strapped City financial spin-offs with a revival of fortunes on the pitch.

The Bantams reached the halfway stage of their troubled season with a 1-0 win over third-placed Nottingham Forest.

It was their first victory since October and snapped a seven-game losing run.

Molenaar (pictured with teammate Andy Gray) scored the only goal - his first for two years - to open up a six-point gap from the bottom three. And then he underlined the positive implications that could follow this potential kick-start.

Molenaar said: "All the players know that the only thing we can do to help save the club is through results.

"It has really got to us being at a club that is financially in big trouble. We know the help we can give is on the pitch and that is in everybody's minds all the time because we all really want the best for the club going forward.

"The money problems affect the talk in the dressing room because you are discussing financial matters rather than football. Whatever club you are, when that happens then you are going to drop points.

"I can't stress enough how important these results are for the club, especially at home. We need all the support we can get and hopefully this will help bring in more people, not just buying tickets but also those who want to help us in a bigger way.

"The Rhodes family and the new chairman are working so hard behind the scenes to get things done. They have got such an awful situation at the moment with money going out of football.

"It's very important for people who have supported the club in the past to know that there is a change in regime and people are working their socks off to try and get a healthy club again.

"Hopefully with these type of performances we can get more people back into Bradford City."

Law said: "In the circumstances that was probably our best performance of the season. That level was more like earlier in the season when we beat Ipswich and Rotherham.

"I'm so pleased for the players. They have had it hard and although we're not out the woods yet, that performance gives us hope.

"It's a fact that we have got financial problems and injuries but you can't use them as excuses and keep hiding.

"I really do hope this is the turning point. If the players are not confident after beating a good team like Forest then they never will be."
