MATCHDAY LIVE: Swindon v Bradford City

Huge W. That is all.

FULL-TIME: Swindon 1 Bradford 0

Let's party like its the 25th February

90- OFF: Ridehalgh

ON: Bola

90- The last man to score the winner for Swindon at home against Bradford was Anton Rogers. Esteemed company if Town hold on. 1-0.

90- Ridehalgh has been on the floor for a while, hopefully that wasn't added on. 1-0.

90- I don't remember if I said this bit, but Williams' goal was Town's first for 265 minutes. A goal which Williams himself scored. 0-0.

Seven minutes added on *obligatory where did he get that from*. No way Town hold on.

88- Osadebe is booked for complaining about a penalty that wasn't given. 1-0.

87: OFF: Jephcott, RHM

ON: Austin, Lavinier

83- OFF: Khan

ON: Darcy

82- Williams bags his 10th of the season after Hutton cut back inside, lifted a cross in and he steamed into the middle to thump it beyond Lewis. 1-0.

GOAL!!!!!!!!!! Swindon 1 (Williams 82') Bradford 0

78- Bradford fans chanting "only here for the Bradford" when Swindon's lowest attendance of the season is read out. Massive. 0-0.

78- Ridehalgh is the first player to be booked for stopping an attack on the halfway line. 0-0.

77- A fine ball into Osadebe seemed to have given Cook the perfect chance in the middle, but Brewitt did well to put him off and then Brynn did well to knock the ball away from him. 0-0.

The attendance this evening is 7413, with 557 away fans.

72- Bradford almost masterminding their own downfall as a header back towards Lewis was under-hit and Jephcott was millimetres away from getting a toe on it to take the ball beyond the goalkeeper. 0-0.

71- OFF: Hendrie

ON: Osadebe

71- OFF: Banks

ON: Derbyshire

69- Jonny Williams curled a corner under the bar, Lewis flapped at it and diverted the ball onto the head of RHM at the back post, but it hit him and went behind. 0-0.

68- Swindon have been the better side in this second half. Bradford look like they are tiring and have not been nearly as effective in their press. This has given Town control, but Lewis and their own lack of clinical finishing has stood in their way. 0-0.

66- Jephcott has been very impressive tonight until he gets into the penalty area, much like many of his teammates. A corner was sent into the near post, he got there but flicked it onto the roof of the net. 0-0.

64- Khan makes a Modric-like run across the field, weaving in and out of multiple defenders before playing the ball out to FBT. He hit a cross first time and it was put behind for a corner. 0-0.

59- Hutton squeezes a cross into RHM in a tight crowd, he gets his shot off but it is quickly charged down. 0-0.

58- FBT appears to have become Dani Alves at half-time. 0-0.

57- OFF: Kadji

ON: Cain

Jonny Leighfield is actively cheering that. Bit harsh.

56- This is becoming ridiculous. The ball falls to Williams on the top of the box now and he fluffs his effort on the half volley, and it goes behind him. 0-0.

51- The County Ground is cursed. FBT plays a low cross into the middle, Wakeling dummied it for Jephcott, but Lewis threw himself into the sky to tip the ball over. 0-0.

50- Walker gets beyond Kadji too easily and gets a shot off, but Brynn gets behind it. 0-0.

48- Action at both ends. Banks drilled a shot across the face of goal and Brewitt looked to be putting it through his own net, but managed to wrap his foot around the ball and get the ball away from the danger zone. 0-0.

47- Nearly. FBT swings a cross in from deep and Crichlow swings at it, hooking the ball towards his own goal, but Jephcott doesn't quite react quick enough to capitalise. 0-0.

46- Luke Jephcott gets us back underway. 0-0.

The players are on their way back out.

That was half that is quite hard to sum up. In patches it has been quite exciting with both teams having chances, but there was a big lull in the middle of it. Bradford's press has proved difficult at times but when Town get beyond it they look rather dangerous.

Half-time: Swindon 0 Bradford 0

Four minutes added on *obligatory where did he get that from*.

44- FBT to the rescue. Banks gets beyond Brewitt in the box and is lining up a shot, but FBT gallops a cross and dives in the way to block his shot. 0-0.

43- Huge save. Bradford are at sixes and sevens at the back as Wakeling gets the ball wide, he tees up Khan and it took stretching every sinew for Lewis to tip it wide. 0-0.

41- Crichlow nearly profited from the old player curse. Hendrie took a corner short before crossing to the back post where Crichlow rose but never got anything behind his header and Brynn could save. 0-0.

40- Thierry Nevers was caught on the ball by Williams, he fed Jephcoot who scuffed his shot into the path of RHM, but he kicked air as he tried to send it towards the goal. 0-0.

36- The ball seemed to have gone behind on the left, but Bradford were allowed to play on. The ball came back to Walker and he curled a shot wide of the mark. 0-0.

33- OFF: Chapman

ON: Nevers

32- After a promising start, this has turned into another classic Swindon game with not loads happening. Bradford definitely on top, but a chance-light first half. 0-0.

31- A Bradford player has just collided with the advertising hoarding, before walking back onto the pitch and then going down. S*housery at its finest. 0-0.

26- The league top goalscorer has just shown us what an awful league this is. Banks clipped the ball to the back post, Cook was unmarked but hit his shot into the ground and it bounced behind. 0-0.

23- We are now entering into the club agreed Ramadan break, so Saidou Khan is now breaking his fast. 0-0.

18- After a promising start, Bradford's aggressive play is starting assert itself. They are giving Town very little time and have had a few efforts, although not particularly dangerous ones. 0-0.

17- Walker received the ball from a header and darted towards the edge of the box, let fly a powerful effort which Brynn did very well to catch. 0-0.

16- Bradford are pressing really high here, they have virtually no midfield if Swindon can beat that first line. 0-0.

14- The resulting free-kick flicks off Gilliead in the middle and just goes wide of the far post. 0-0.

14- Very obvious booking not given as Brewitt bodychecks Chapman as he was running into the box. Free-kick given but no card. Questionable. 0-0.

13- That was something I suppose. Swindon have a central free-kick from about 35 yards out, Hutton taps it square and Williams tries his luck, but it sails wide. 0-0.

11- Let off. Clayton's clearance from a cross in came out to Smallwood, he hacked at the ball and it nearly cleared the Town End. 0-0.

9- The Town players all look petrified of being called out for not trying like Adeloye was and are actually putting in a real shift here early on. Winning most 50-50s and make mad dashes to keep the ball in play. 0-0.

8- First sniff for Bradford. Swindon get caught in possession and Cook is slipped in down the side, but Clayton came across and blocked his shot behind for a corner. 0-0.

7- Should have been a goal. Hutton plays in a great free-kick from out wide, Jephcott gets up well but fails to make a proper contact in front of goal. 0-0.

4- Swindon with the first forray forward. Kadji sprays the ball out to Hutton who drives forwards. He cuts back and plays a ball into the middle which Lewis deals with well. 0-0.

3- RHM has taken a big whack to the head and has crumpled to the ground. Probable concussion? He has got up and we are back playing. 0-0.

1- Jamie Walker gets us underway. 0-0.

The players are on their way out, meaning the high point of the evening (the mascot penalty shoot-out I have been campaigning for for a long time) is over.

The thing about this mascot penalty shoot-out is, this is impromptu. No one planned it and what I am saying is that they should have done.

I spoke too soon, they are now playing football. Rockin' Robin just bagged and he will presumably be the only person wearing a Town shirt to do so this evening.

I believe for the first time this season, the opposition mascot is here. He should be taking on Rockin' Robin in a penalty shoot-out right now but in the surest sign of rot in the club, this has not happened.

The last time Swindon beat Bradford at home was in 2016 when Anton Rogers got the only goal of the game, if that miracle can happen then surely Swindon can get a result tonight.

Bradford have not lost away in the league this year and Swindon have only won twice at home. There is a positive point of view which says that those runs have to come to an end at some point. It isn't going to happen, but it is nice to think about.

Quite the contingent of former Swindon players in the Bradford line-up as League Two title winner Liam Ridehalgh and Romoney Crichlow start in defence. Ryan East, who played for Swindon with Crichlow last season, is on the bench.

Bradford make the one change as Brad Halliday drops out of the squad in place of Luke Hendrie.

Lewis

Hendrie Crichlow Stubbs Ridehalgh

Smallwood Gilliead

Banks Walker Chapman

Cook

That is two changes for Town and the two expected ones as Austin and McEachran drop out for fitness reasons and perfect trainer Jephcott comes in alongside Kadji

Bradford City XI:

Lewis, Ridehalgh, Smallwood, Cook, Walker, Gillead, Banks, Hendry, Chapman, Crichlow, Stubbs

Everyone excited to see Tomi Adeloye start?

Good evening everyone and welcome back to the countdown to the end of the season. Bradford are tonight's visitors and they are in great form, particularly away from home. So this should be fun.
