PHIL Parkinson reflected on a good week on the road for City and said: “We’re putting our bodies on the line.”

The Bantams drew 0-0 at Colchester this afternoon to back up the win at MK Dons on Tuesday.

Parkinson believes it has been a very solid response after losing successive home games, especially as they are without James Hanson, Andrew Davies and the suspended Alan Sheehan.

The City boss said: “We spoke after last Saturday about putting our bodies on the line in and around the box. We’ve certainly done that in the last couple of games.

“We had some decent chances, certainly late on. We played some good football at times and kept the ball well but I just felt in the second half we played in front of them a bit too much.

“But the way we stuck at it was really good.

“To have the injuries and key players out like we’ve had and get those results this week is an outstanding achievement.”
