PHIL Parkinson reckons today's draw 1-1 with Sheffield United put the pride back into City.

Billy Clarke's equaliser at Bramall Lane ended a run of three straight defeats as the Bantams bounced back from the midweek horror show against Bristol City.

“It’s been a tough week for us but we’ve restored some pride today," said the City boss. "We needed to do that.

“I’ve got to give the lads enormous credit for the way they stuck to the game plan throughout, even when we conceded a goal.

“We kept going and got our rewards in the end for a very spirited performance.

“This is a difficult place to come, especially when you’ve just been beaten so heavily at home as we were.”
