Bradford City's recent form has taken a nosedive, leaving fans and manager Graham Alexander scratching their heads. A recent defeat to Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Trophy has only added to the Bantams' woes, extending their winless streak to six games.
Domination Turned Disaster
Despite initially dominating the first half and taking a 1-0 lead through Tyreik Wright, Bradford City crumbled in the second half. Doncaster Rovers, fueled by half-time substitutes Jordan Gibson and Luke Molyneux, turned the game on its head.
Gibson's Revenge
Jordan Gibson, a familiar thorn in Bradford City's side, scored twice, adding insult to injury. His goals not only secured the victory for Doncaster but also served as a sweet revenge for the City fans' playful chants about him and his dad.
Alexander's Frustration
Sitting in the stands due to a touchline ban, Graham Alexander must have been tearing his hair out. What started as a promising display of squad depth quickly turned into a frustrating evening. The manager now faces a tough task in lifting the team's morale ahead of their upcoming match against Bolton.
The defeat not only denies City top spot in Group C but also raises serious concerns about their overall form. Can Alexander turn things around and get Bradford City back on track? Only time will tell.
The team needs to regroup, address their defensive vulnerabilities, and rediscover their attacking spark if they hope to salvage their season.
