The Bradford City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Grimsby Town, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  

Their boss Graham Alexander has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at University of Bradford Stadium, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.  

Bobby Pointon will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bradford City.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Carlisle United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Tranmere Rovers.  

They have found the net 4 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 14 goals in that same period.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches.
