'Feel-good factor' at Bradford, says Alexander
Antoni Sarcevic was on target against Rob Edwards' Boro side in pre-season

Bradford City boss Graham Alexander says there is a "feel-good factor" at the club as they prepare for a return to League One.
The Bantams beat Championship side Middlesbrough 2-0 in a pre-season friendly last week, with goals from Antoni Sarcevic and Will Swan.
Swan is one of a number of new faces settling in at the club and Alexander is pleased with how his squad is shaping up.
He told BBC Radio Leeds: "We looked incisive and dangerous when we had the ball against Middlesbrough.
"We looked clunky in our first few friendlies but we have eight new players and we are changing their mindsets. It takes time, it's a process.
"We are still not there but the new players are getting more confidence.
"We try to do our due diligence on their characters as people and they have settled in well. It is a good group of players who want to work, it is a good environment to walk into.
"There is a feel-good factor in the club - but we haven't kicked off yet."
City begin their League One return at home to Wycombe on Saturday, 2 August, after their memorable last-day, last-gasp promotion from the fourth tier in May.
