Nicky Law has told City to forget about the rest of the relegation pack.
The Bantams go to Grimsby tomorrow - a game Law (pictured) describes as their biggest of the season.
City are currently three points above their hosts with a game in hand. A fourth away win would lift them seven clear of the drop zone.
Law said: "It is a real six-pointer and we can make life a lot easier for ourselves with the right result.
"But if we don't win, it still isn't a disaster. We are in a position where everything is in our own hands and we don't have to rely on others.
"There will be teams down the bottom who are worrying about other results doing them a favour, but that doesn't apply in our current position.
"We know that on our day we are as good as anyone in this division. But we're not doing that enough."
Jamie Lawrence will play even though he is tipped to join Walsall next week. Simon Francis is likely to return for the injured Lewis Emanuel with Claus Jorgensen switching to the left.
Law added: "I'm not tempting fate but I watched Grimsby at Burnley last week and they were absolutely clueless. But they are usually a different prospect at their own place.
"It's not the greatest ground to play at and we'll have to dog it out. But we won there 1-0 last season and I'd settle for a repeat of that."
