CITY made it two draws from two after being held 1-1 at Grimsby Town.
James Vaughan scored their first goal of the season - only for James Hanson to hit back against his old club with a deflected equaliser.
Here's all the facts and figures from T&A chief sports writer Simon Parker.

Anthony O’Connor has had his critics but he has not put a foot wrong in the opening games and stood strong, particularly in the first half when City weren’t at the races.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
City fans finally had a goal to celebrate when James Vaughan nodded home from Jordan Gibson’s cross.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Having got their noses in front, City could not capitalised and were pummelled into conceding an equaliser.

Gary Bowyer kept the 4-3-3 formation by naming the same side. Paudie O’Connor returned to the bench.
