CITY take a one-point advantage into the four-game shoot-out that will decide League Two’s automatic promotion places. Doncaster’s draw at Salford last night kept the Bantams in second as they prepare for tomorrow’s huge home clash against Notts County. Grant McCann’s Rovers would have jumped above them with a victory in their game in hand.
But the 1-1 stalemate means they stay fourth – goal difference behind sinking Walsall and a point adrift of City. Doncaster, who are unbeaten in seven games, went in front at the Peninsula Stadium through Rob Street. Salford did the Bantams and the rest of the promotion pack a favour last week with a 3-1 win at Notts County.

Karl Robinson’s side then had an Ossama Ashley header ruled out for a foul on Doncaster keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe. Hakeeb Adelakun also hit the woodwork in an end-to-end second half.
Former City winger Jordan Gibson missed a good chance late on for the visitors before Salford finished with 10 men when captain Curtis Tilt was shown a second yellow. Doncaster boss McCann said: “We’re on a decent enough run. We’ve lost one in 11 games.
“We probably haven’t won as many games as we’d like. I’ve told the boys we need to win some games now if we want to get to where we want – we’re well aware of that.”.
