PHIL Parkinson felt it was a “game too far” for City today as they limped to defeat against Yeovil.
The Bantams put on a flat display at Valley Parade to go down 3-1, Rory McArdle scoring the home goal after two early headers from Yeovil defender Aaron Martin. Ajay Leitch-Smith added their third in the second half.
Parkinson admitted: “We were well below the standards we’ve set so far this season.
“Conceding the two goals in the manner we did gave Yeovil a huge lift. We got one back but we just didn’t have the energy or the spark in our play today.
“It was a shame because we’ve had a terrific start. But our decision-making on the ball was a bit ponderous and we weren’t sharp enough in possession.
“It was just a game too far with the run we’ve had. Even the lads we rested on Tuesday lacked sharpness.”
