Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson thought his side deserved their 3-1 victory against Coventry City.
Parkinson told the Press Association: "I thought we deserved the win although it looked like a draw after Reda Johnson's equaliser.
"Obviously, I was concerned at Coventry's late equaliser, but if we had had to settle for a point we would have put down a marker in front of our own fans as how we want to play - three at the back, rolling the ball out, being positive, closing down and so on.
"The lads showed they understand what has been asked of them, but it was the way they implemented the plans that pleased me.
"The first three points of the season are important and we got them and it gives us something to build on, but we are not getting carried away.
"Coventry manager Stephen Pressley will be looking at some of the big decisions in the game, but over the game I don't think you can doubt we deserved to win.
"There were some big decisions for Mike Dean, a Premier League referee, and we feel he got them right."
