BRADFORD Town boss Mark Hodkinson has apologised to his chairman after his team's woeful performance in the 6-0 humiliation at Clyst Rovers on Saturday.

But Hodkinson says he won't quit after watching his side crumble to their eighth consecutive defeat in the Toolstation League First Division.

Clyst had scored just nine goals in ten league matches before the visit of Bradford, highlighting the extent of the problem facing Hodkinson and his assistant Andy O'Pray.

And Hodkinson admitted he is under pressure to deliver results after this latest humiliating defeat.

"I'm not sure what the chairman thinks of it all," said Hodkinson.

"He might think this defeat is down to me and that might be that. I apologised on behalf of the players. He will now go away and decide where we go from here.

"I have no intention of quitting. Myself and Andy O'Pray have put too much hard work in here to just walk away.

"We've not played too badly in previous weeks but Saturday was just a disgrace. The players didn't apply themselves and they didn't do anything we told them to do.

"Things can't carry on like this - it's just not good enough."
