Bradford City’s interim manager Kevin McDonald must make a significant decision before leaving for a League Two game against AFC Wimbledon.
Kevin McDonald, the interim manager of Bradford City, must make a crucial choice before traveling to AFC Wimbledon in League Two.
On Saturday, BRADFORD CITY interim manager Kevin McDonald will take command of the Bantams for a third straight game. He must make a choice before the League Two match at AFC Wimbledon.
After having a watching brief in Saturday’s 1-0 league victory over Swindon Town, the Scot donned his boots after making nine changes for Tuesday’s Papa John’s Trophy tie at Grimsby Town.
A much-changed City line-up secured a second successive win of his tenure, a 2-1 success.
The wins have given the Bantams management some breathing room in their search for a new permanent manager, and McDonald is currently busy getting ready for the weekend trip to the capital.
McDonald stated in a statement on Tuesday night: “I’ll see what is said. However, I anticipate that, in the absence of a manager, I will be on the bench, the field, or wherever else necessary.
“But I have no real idea, I’ll just take it day by day and we’ll see how we go.”
Ciaran Kelly put City in front against the Mariners and despite a home equaliser, Manny Osadebe went on to grab a stylish winner for the visitors.
It proved a bittersweet night for Osadebe, who were dismissed just before the final whistle after a tussle with home defender Harvey Rodgers.
McDonald intimated that the club may appeal, with the ban only likely to count for trophy games.
He continued: “It was disappointing that was a sending off as I thought Manny was top-drawer and he definitely didn’t deserve that.”
The 34-year-old went on to say this following his second consecutive victory: “All in all, it was a good night and good for a lot of people to be out playing.
“Nobody harmed themselves at all. Everyone supported what we did on Saturday, and the same enthusiasm persisted this time.
