Bradford's reserves put four goals past struggling Sheffield Wednesday - put still ended up on the losing side.
Basement boys Wednesday romped to a 6-4 victory at Hillsborough, registering their first win of the season.
A Robert Morgan own goal got the Bantams on their way before Dean Saunders netted twice and Billy McKinlay once.
But Morgan also scored at the right end, as did Tony Crane (two), Dene Cropper (two) and Owen Morrison.
There was an injury scare for Jamie Lawrence early in the game but he was able to continue after treatment.
