CITY suffered their third league defeat of the season as they lost 3-2 at Cheltenham.
All the goals came in the second half as Gary Bowyer's men let a 1-0 lead slip before being unable to stay level at 2-2 after coming from behind.
Check out T&A chief sports writer Simon Parker's take on the match.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Harry Pritchard’s delivery from free-kicks and corners was always a threat for City – and his set-piece led to the equaliser.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Jermaine Anderson took three attempts but eventually got the ball over the line to put the Bantams in front.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Having got back into it with Ben Richards-Everton’s equaliser, City will be kicking themselves for then conceding again.
TACTICS
City made two changes from the Walsall win. Anthony O’Connor replaced Paudie O’Connor at centre half and Jermaine Anderson came into midfield for Danny Devine.
