City's improved form over December has been recognised with two award nominations.

Phil Parkinson is in the shortlist for League Two manager of the month after the Bantams picked up ten points from a possible 12.

They also advanced to the FA Cup third round for the first time since 2004 after beating Wimbledon.

And centre half Luke Oliver is in the running to be named the division's player of the month.

Oliver has been a model of consistency this season and also scored the late winner in the impressive win at Southend.
