What the expert says...
Mark Hughes was sacked by the Bantams after poor start to season
Bradford were booed off on Saturday after their 3-1 home defeat to Walsall and that was followed by a 2-1 away loss to Tranmere which ultimately signalled the end of Mark Hughes spell at the club.
With just three wins in 11 games so far this season, the Bantams are a long way off the form that saw them reach the play-offs last season and the board ultimately decided to sack Hughes.
"After 11 league games we find ourselves a long way away from where we expect to be," said CEO Ryan Sparks in a statement released by the club on Wednesday evening.
