BRADFORD CITY AFC

Hosts Coventry will have been buoyed pre-match following the appointment of new manager Mark Robins during the week, but goals from Alex Jones and Jordy Hiwula after the break made it back-to-back wins for McCall's men.

A low-key opening half saw little in the way of goal-scoring chances, although Charlie Wyke did hit the post with a header from a Mark Marshall cross.

McCall's side roared into a commanding position at the beginning of the second period, moving into a two-goal lead before the game had reached the hour mark.

Jones - a first half substitute for the inured Alex Gilliead - pounced from a Tony McMahon corner to volley home from close range six minutes after the restart.

With City clearly enjoying a purple patch in the game, skipper Romain Vincelot then headed onto the crossbar on his first appearance back at former club Coventry.

Hiwula doubled the Bantams' advantage shortly afterwards with his twelfth goal of the season when he latched onto a Jones pass to fire past Coventry 'keeper Lee Burge from just inside the box.

After his assist and a goal, Jones was sadly forced off with a dead leg later in the half.

The victory was City's third win in their last four fixtures and moved them up to fourth in the Sky Bet League One table.

86min: McMahon's initial delivery into the box is cleared but McArdle manages to keep the attack alive by feeding the ball out wide. McMahon wins possession of ball off Stevenson by the byline before driving into the box. McMahon goes for goal by Burge's near post but the effort is blocked out by Kelly-Evans.

85min: Clarke's free-kick from wide ends up going towards goal and Burge has to tip over.

65min: There is another break in play now, this time Stokes for Coventry is receiving treatment.

62min: Alex Jones is down receiving treatment, resulting in a break of play.

28min: There is a break in play as Kevin Foley receives treatment, allowing both sides to receive some water and some tactics from their respective managers.

19min: Coventry break dangerously on the counter-attack but McArdle is on the right place to block away Vernam's teasing centre into the six yard box.

18min:OFF THE POST! Wyke hits the post! Marshall beats Chris Stokes over on City's right flank before standing up a cross into the middle. Wyke attacks the cross but his header hits the inside of the post, with Jordan Turnbull then on hand to kick away before the ball can possibly roll over the line.

15min: Close for Coventry. A free-kick from deep into the box is flicked on via the head of Kwame Thomas towards Stuart Beavon, who fires narrowly wide with an overhead kick.

11min: Josh Cullen goes on a mazy run which ends with the midfielder firing in a low cross from the edge of the area. Coventry 'keeper Lee Burge dives on the ball though before the lurking Charlie Wyke can look to pounce.

10min: Vernam's corner into the box is cleared out by City but Ben Stevenson beats Mark Marshall to the loose ball just outside the area. Stevenson goes for goal but his low drive rolls past the post.
