The point was enough fut coins to take Villa out of the http://www.goldstarkr.com/ relegation zone and manager Paul Lambert said the performance gave him plenty of reasons for optimism.
"I was not happy with conceding two goals but the performance and effort was excellent," he said.
"I thought we should have been out of sight in the first half and we played some fantastic football."
Charles N Zogbia, fit again after a knee problem, set up both of Villa s goals at the Hawthorns and Lambert hinted that the decision to substitute him mid-way through the second half was made with half an eye on Tuesday s game.
"I took Charles off because he has got a lot of games coming up," he said.
"Remember that he s back from a long lay-off, so you have to watch him. We have to protect him."
Bradford s exploits in the League Cup have thrust manager Phil Parkinson into the limelight and he recently rejected an approach from Blackpool over the Championship club s vacant managerial position.
