GRAHAM Alexander insists he has not held possible exit talks with any City players.
Andy Cook and Alex Pattison were again missing from the squad as the Bantams clinched their third win in four at Blackpool yesterday.
George Lapslie did travel to Bloomfield Road but was not named among the 18. Tommy Leigh came off the bench but is another whose Valley Parade future looks uncertain.
Alexander confirmed afterwards that there had been calls to the club about players. But he stressed that nobody had demanded to discuss their situation with him so far.
“No one's come to see me,” he said. “I think because of the games, they've been so thick and fast.
“Training days have been so full of just organising for the next game, so it's been difficult to sit down with players. But we've got a bit of time now.
“Next week, we'll sit down with players. Certainly, if they want to knock on the door, my door's always open.
“I always want to listen to a player, because I wanted that sort of scenario when I was playing.
“We'll do what's best for the club, but we obviously have to take into account the players’ perspective as well.
“It's the same everywhere. It's not a problem.”
Louie Sibley made his first outing as a sub following his arrival on loan from Oxford.
City have been linked with teenage Crystal Palace forward Hindolo Mustapha but Alexander confirmed there was nothing in the pipeline regarding further recruits.
“It's been quiet because Louie was sorted well before the deadline.
“Nothing was sorted during these four games because it was game, recovery, game.
“I think there's players out there on loan that their only window of opportunity of moving is now as well. So, it's all that sort of thing going on.
“We’ll see what the next couple of weeks bring and hopefully we can enhance the squad without altering it, because I think the group of players are doing a magnificent job and have been for such a long time.
“They’ve been so consistent, so we have to do well to identify players that can actually enhance us.”
Sibley replaced Calum Kavanagh just after the hour and helped City to a fourth away win of the season to stay third on 46 points – seven ahead of Huddersfield after Exeter’s late equaliser at the Accu Stadium.
The 24-year-old had trained only briefly the day before with his new teammates. Alexander and Chris Lucketti had also given him a quick tutorial on the way City press.
Alexander added: “It'll take a few more sessions to really get fluid with that. But I think he's got all the characteristics to be a really good player for us.
“His personality, his character, his work ethic, and he's a good footballer.
“We've got a profile of the players we want. Is he a good player? Has he been successful before? He has that experience and he’s won promotion at this level.
“He knows what it takes and we want people that have tasted it before, that are hungry for it again, because it just builds you.”
