CITY came from behind to beat Salford and make it three wins out of four games.
T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER was at the Peninsula Stadium and provides the match stats and his player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Brad Halliday has found an added weapon to his game – goals! He netted a second consecutive winner to cap another ultra-consistent performance on City’s right side.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Halliday’s precise finish and the celebrations behind that goal from the packed away end.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
It looked like being one of those days when good scoring chances came and went for the Bantams before they got there in the end. That remains an area that must improve.
TACTICS
Graham Alexander named the same starting line-up from the Valley Parade win over Gillingham.
But Alex Gilliead replaced Noah Wadsworth on the bench after missing the last four games since going off injured against Notts County.
