Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson wasn't too happy with captain Michael Flynn at Edgar Street this afternoon. Flynn was sent off for a second yellow card in the 79th minute.
"The sending-off killed us. To get booked I was annoyed with - then to do the other foul when there was no need for it cost us the game," said Parkinson.
"Their second goal came when we were chasing the game, when we were trying to get back in there. Our two centre-halves played well and were unlucky to be on the losing side, but the sending off cost us.
"We didn't produce the football I know we can, but sometimes when you are away from home you don't get the chance to do that. But you want to make sure you get back on the coach with something. Our centre-halves dealt with everything and I can't fault them, but when we went down to 10 men we became disjointed."
Meanwhile there was a complete contrast between the two mascots on the pitch this afternoon.
Edgar was wearing a 'kick-it out' T-shirt and there was this fellow with the usual Bradford Kit. He appeared, rather like his club, to have seen better days.
Finally the rather fetching pink(?) kit worn by Bradford this afternoon was to raise awareness about breast cancer.
