GRAHAM Alexander will watch City’s game tonight from the press box as he serves a one-game touchline ban.

The Bantams boss was shown his third yellow card of the season on Saturday protesting Neil Byrne’s dismissal at Morecambe.

Three bookings for a manager means an automatic one-game ban from the dug-out – Alexander also sat one out last season.

Byrne begins a three-match suspension for violent conduct which will also rule him out of City’s league games against Crewe on Saturday and Swindon.

But the centre half will be allowed to face former club Stockport in the Vertu Trophy next Tuesday because it is a separate competition.
