Stuart McCall refuses to be worried that free-scoring City are suddenly blowing chances.

The Bantams are joint top-scorers in League Two with 36 goals but have been guilty of wasting plenty of opportunities to boost that tally in their last two games.

Michael Boulding has netted in both, stretching his current hot run to four matches, but City have been left cursing the gilt-edged openings that have got away.

McCall admitted their “best away performance of the season” at Brentford on Saturday was let down by shortcomings in front of goal.

He said: “The only blemish on the display was not being able to hit the target. Just in the first half alone, Peter Thorne, Boulders and Steve Jones twice all had chances but not one managed to test the keeper.

“For all the good play and encouraging individual performances, the downside was that we couldn’t take advantage of some good positions.

“If it goes on then it becomes a concern but while we are still creating chances, I don’t see it as a worry.

"Dagenham and Brentford were chalk and cheese in terms of performances. Against Dagenham we created five or six good chances without playing well but on Saturday I thought we moved the ball excellently and always looked positive.”

McCall is still waiting for Brentford ref Gavin Ward to “say sorry” about the two contentious decisions he gave against City in stoppage time.

McCall added: “It’s the first time I’ve been to see a referee after the 30-minute waiting period and I said I would send him a written apology if I was wrong.

“Referees and linesmen always say the same when you argue about a decision – watch the video.

“I do that anyway and I told him I would apologise if he had got it right. But I would also like exactly the same from him.

“I’ve looked at both again and still can’t see how they were fouls by us – but I’ve not heard anything so far.

“Maybe we got the rub of the green last week with the penalty that Dagenham could have been given and things even themselves out but it is still hard to take when you suffer from two poor decisions in the space of 20 seconds.”
