 Bradford City were beaten for only the second time in the league this season on the weekend when South End United dominated their clash at Routesoul and came out three-nil winners. The Bantams will want to bounce back this evening against Northampton Town, who were also beaten on Saturday by rivals, Peterborough. They won't beat many tougher tests for the Cobblers this season. Bradford are unbeaten at home in the league this campaign. And before the start of tonight's match, a minute's applause for Bobby Campbell, who passed away last week aged 60. Bradford City legend. Well, Northampton haven't beaten Bradford in their last eight meetings. The last win coming back in 2010, a two-nil winning lead to Billy McKay and Ben Tozer with the goals. The last meeting between these two ended in a three-nil win for Bradford City at Wembley in the 2012-2013 lead to playoff. Bradford City strike coming in, he wasn't far away. Marshall with the powerful effort. Best chance of the game so far. Northampton were beaten by a late Peterborough goal last time out. Would have been very disappointing. It looked like the game was heading for a nil-nil draw. Can they bounce back this evening? Great ball whipped in. Goalkeeper spills it. Hanson could get there. He wants a penalty. But the protester waved away. Well, Cornell completely spilled the handling on that ball. Hanson could have been in. And now Northampton could be through. Poor pass. Just wider the target. This game is end to end. Booze from the home fans. They still feel they should have had a penalty. The Bantams are unbeaten in their last 16 homely games. They've not had a longer run since October 1987. This is a hard place to come. Ball chipped forward. No one there, though. I'm sure they would have been looking for the run of Hanson. That's brave goalkeeping from Cornell. Four would come Northampton now, though. Ball kept in play. This is neat football from Northampton. Deep cross. Goalkeeper should have this one. And he does. And now Brad Fasitic can get attack started. Here's Law. This is a great game of football. Here's Vucic. Great ball through. Surely that's a penalty. And once again, the referee waves away the process. He says he got the ball when it didn't look like it. The Bradford players are outraged. And you can see why it looked like a clear penalty. He didn't get any of the ball. Somehow the referee believes he did. Bradford feel they've been robbed. Northampton have certainly got away with one. Strike comes over the top. Still the booze echo around Valley Parade. No goals in that first half. Some entertaining football from both sides, though. Will we get a goal in the second half? Bradford's defeat last time out was their first in five. Now they'd love to get back to winning ways and keep the pressure on the teams above them. Some competition in League One this season. Can't afford to drop points. Here's Law. Played the ball through. McNulty. Shot held by Cornell. Here's Marshall. Haven't said too much of him. Today's always lively, though. Looks to make things happen for Bradford City. Northampton could break, though, with Hoskins. Hasn't got too many players in the middle. Just held up by Law. And in the end, his cross goes straight into the arms of Doyle. Doyle loves to roll that ball out to his full backs and get this game started quickly. Cullen. Cullen gets it back. No pressure on the ball from Northampton. So Bradford City have it again. With Vancele, possession given away. Too easily by McCourt. Here's Hansen. Has the overlapping run of Marshall. He uses him. Just sent too wide, though. Marshall. Skips inside onto his right foot. Plays it back to Law. Who has a go? And he just skims the top of the crossbar. Best chance of the game so far. Here comes the way of Law and Bradford City. But the chance wasn't taken. Well, the Cobblers have never kept a clean sheet at Valley Parade in any competition in their history. Are they heading for one this evening? They've defended well. They've had a few chances themselves. Marshall. Bradford City hoping to make sure that run goes on. Ball to the back post, headed back across. Here's Derby. Played into the middle. Cross was a little too deep. Marshall loops one up for Hansen. And he was never going to miss that. Completely unchallenged. James Hansen with his four for the season. 56 minutes gone. And it was just too easy for the Bradford City striker. Marshall just played one into the six-yard box. Hansen couldn't miss. Maybe the goalkeeper should have come for it. Cornell was routed to the spot. Now Bradford have won. Ford, they come looking for a second. Played across the box and cleared by McDonald. Still plenty of time for Northampton to get back into this game. It's not over by any means. Maloney does very well. Gets the throw as well. Hoskins decides not to use Maloney. Crosses one in, left footed. Cleared by Bradford City. Just looking for the runner, McNulty. Northampton have been too quick to give the ball away. That's a lovely touch from Hansen. Law spreads it out wide to Marshall. Marshall left footed. Saved by Cornell. Marshall just didn't look confident with that strike. Oh, Northampton haven't lost. Free successive game since December 2014 in the league. Are they heading for free successive defeats this evening? Marshall does very well. Skips past a couple of challenges. His touch just led him down though. Ball got away from him. Northampton have it back. No options going forward. Anderson had to go back. Flicked on. Northampton just haven't been able to get their passing game going. Given away possession too easily. Bradford happy to play the ball around the back, but now they've given it away as well. Chance for Northampton Town. But the pass was poor. Kept alive now with Anderson. Chipped towards the back post. And the header saved. Real chance for the equaliser. Cross just skipped off the surface. Northampton can clear. It is their time for Northampton Town to find an equaliser. The Corbler's come forward with Maloney. Has overlapping runs. Players in the middle as well. Decided to go alone and that was probably the wrong option. Header played it to the middle and it's gone in. Northampton Town have equalised or have they? The offside flag is up. Whistles from the home fans. It's all Northampton now searching for that equaliser. They thought they've got one. Crossed into the middle. Bradford can't get it clear and they're defending deeper and deeper. Northampton just need to get this boy to the box and that's what they've done. But it's too close to Doyle who gratefully holds onto it. Victory for Bradford City. Just the one goal in this one. It was an entertaining game, but James Hansen proves the difference. Bradford stay fourth. Will Northampton drop to 15th? It ends Bradford 1. Northampton 0.
