Marc Bridge-Wilkinson insists the current City side don't know how to give up.

Bridge-Wilkinson's cracking free-kick late on at Doncaster earned them a point in Tuesday's thrilling Yorkshire derby.

But comebacks are nothing new for Colin Todd's men - they have wiped out a deficit in five of their 11 league games to date.

Recoveries have earned City 11 of their 18-point tally - including three of the five wins against Bristol City, Gillingham and Cheltenham last week.

It is not easy to kill off this mob.

"That shows the character we've got in the team, the squad and throughout the club," said Bridge-Wilkinson.

"It's a major plus point that we will keep on fighting whatever the position.

"We're not going to give up. Even when we're one goal or even two behind, we still try our hardest to get something out of those games and other teams realise that."

Despite his late leveller, Bridge-Wilkinson admitted there was a disappointed air in the dressing-room at Doncaster after the Bantams had blown an early two-goal lead.

"Scoring just before half-time gave them a big lift and then we got caught off guard by the two quick goals. Maybe we were still in the changing room a little bit because we started the second half so slowly.

"So from that point of view, it was a good result to get a draw, though the fact we feel it should have been more shows how confident the lads are."

Bridge-Wilkinson, who always sets himself a double-figure goal target at the start of each season, is now up to three.

And he was relieved to convert his first free-kick since those Valley Parade blinders against Walsall and Brentford last Christmas.

"I was telling the lads it was about time I scored a free-kick again but it's nice to have one within range for a change," said the midfielder.

"Everything else has been miles out and because you're trying to whack it that hard, I usually end up booting it in the stand.

"I wasn't sure at first whether it had gone in or not. The keeper started to dive but I couldn't see him behind the wall. Thankfully, the ball crept in.

"The good thing was that we didn't lose and four points from two away games is a good return. Now it's all about giving it all we've got in another very tough game against Tranmere.

"They are going very well but we'll be looking to take three points again and hopefully the home run can continue."

Alan Rogers hopes to be fit for the clash with one of his old clubs after recovering from a pulled hamstring that has kept him out since the Port Vale game.

Todd said: "I've got options in the squad but I'm mulling it over. I'll give it some thought before deciding nearer the time whether we need to make any changes."
