The 2020-21 campaign was a turbulent season of dramatic dichotomy and eventual mid-table consolidation for Bradford City. After a disastrous start saw manager Stuart McCall sacked with the club near the relegation zone, The Bantams, under the new joint-management of Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars, achieved a crucial 15th-place finish by launching a sensational post-Christmas surge. Leading the charge was the clinical striker Andy Cook, whose 8 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on a determined revival. It was a unique year defined by the sterile, fan-less atmosphere of the pandemic that, despite the club's underperformance, marked their hard-won stability and a brief, desperately needed lift to the community.
