BRADFORD City made a winning start to 2020 with a 1-0 success over struggling Morecambe.
The Bantams made it two successive home wins over the holidays following their 2-0 victory against Mansfield Town at Valley Parade last Sunday.
Here's T&A reporter Simon Parker's game guide and player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Dylan Connolly’s pace continues to prove an effective attacking weapon, although he was more dangerous when back in his natural wide role.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
There wasn’t much quality on show but Aramide Oteh displayed a fine touch and presence in front of goal to score the winner.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
It was a poor spectacle again but the state of the Valley Parade pitch is not doing anyone any favours right now.
TACTICS
Gary Bowyer stuck with the same line-up and subs from Sunday’s win over Morecambe.
