Awful City slumped to their third league loss of the season against a Southend side celebrating their first away win in 2010.
It was a grim night for the Bantams, who looked a shadow of the team that had matched Preston for so long three days earlier.
They never recovered after slack marking allowed Barry Corr to convert Anthony Grant's pass after 16 minutes.
Peter Taylor used all three substitutes at half-time in a bid to gee them up after the break and Jake Speight at least offered a bit of bite.
But any hopes of a fightback were dashed when they fell further behind nine minutes after the break as Grant drove in from 25 yards.
Southend defender Sean Clohessy was sent off near the end but the ten men did not come under any pressure.
And once again there were a few boos at the final whistle.
