BRADFORD City has won three straight games, and Kevin McDonald is off to the best start as a manager of the Bantams in thirty years.
Though it appears that he is gradually warming up to the idea of taking on the position full-time, is that a likely result of City’s managerial search?
In this week’s Parker on Parade, chief sports writer for The T&A Simon Parker and senior sports reporter Nathan Atkinson address these topics and more.
On Saturday, Wrexham will visit the city, posing a challenging test for the Bantams as they attempt to maintain their unbeaten streak without Matty Platt, who is suspended.
What does Parker make of their “Hollywood story” and has he seen their acclaimed documentary?
And while many would have expected Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to plump for a bigger name in the dugout, our chief sports writer insists they have made the right call sticking with much-loved former Bantams boss Phil Parkinson.
After that comes the trip to MK Dons, whose shocking drop off since the end of August led to the departure of Graham Alexander on Monday.
He has been replaced by Gateshead boss Mike Williamson, whose reputation is growing after working wonders at the non-league side.
MK Dons might be considered as AFC Wimbledon’s evil twin/cousin, and the Plough Lane side are still smarting from City beating them last week.
City had to be clinical to secure that 1-0 victory, their second successive win by that scoreline in League Two.
Young Bobby Pointon again started that win, and with Freddy Jeffreys making his first team bow in the EFL Trophy at Grimsby a few days earlier, what does Parker make of the club’s latest hot prospects?
Our weekly podcast, video feature, and video for Bradford City, Parker on Parade, covers all things Bantams for the previous seven days and the coming week.
On a Thursday morning, you can find us chatting on the Telegraph & Argus’ Bradford City Facebook page.
The entire video of our conversation will then be incorporated in an article that will be posted on the internet.
