Connor Wood, 6: Quiet.

Elliot Watt, 6: Also quiet as City dominated the ball but were unable to find the crucial goal.

Finn Cousin-Dawson, 6: Coped well in only his second league appearance for Bradford.

Bryce Hosannah, 7: Very bright down the right flank, looks a promising prospect.

Callum Cooke, 5: Should have done better with a first-half chance for Bradford.

Clayton Donaldson, 5: Did well in the air but final touch was lacking. Wasted a decent opportunity in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
