T&A reporter Simon Parker admits the sad news of Stephen Darby's motor neurone disease diagnosis has yet to sink in.
Tributes from far and wide within the football world have flooded in for the popular defender, who made the shock announcement this week.
Simon discusses why the Bantams 'history-maker' was so popular during his time at the club.
While the news has over-shadowed football matters, City are preparing to return to action at Doncaster on Saturday.
How will City approach the game given their current depleted squad as they look to gain their first points under David Hopkin?
Simon gives his thoughts in our latest weekly Bantams web-chat.
