Cotterill's side could have doubled their lead soon after as Charlie McCann fired over from Emmanuel Osadebe's low cross.
Tyreik Wright had Bradford's first threat on the Rovers goal, flicking into the side-netting after Lewis Richards picked him out in the box.
Richard Smallwood set up Wright for another chance just before half-time but visiting goalkeeper Vicente Reyes managed to smuggle it away from the near post.
Bradford livened up in the second half with Jamie Walker's arrival and Reyes produced a superb save to deny the substitute.
But Doidge made sure of Forest Green's win in added time with a penalty after Ciaran Kelly tripped McCann.
