 Two teams that sit side by side in the table and both who harbour hopes of fighting their way through the crowd in the race for the playoffs in Sky Betley 2. And a new chapter begins for Akrington after almost a decade under the charge of John Coleman. The club deciding to act after last weekend's 4-0 defeat against Wrexham. John Doolin takes interim charge here this afternoon. Akrington starting the day in 16th. Coming here confident, unbeaten in their last five games and they've only conceded one goal in that time. Can you keep that run going here this afternoon? Will push down the line with Tom Kinson. An early opportunity here at the back post. But it was just out of the reach of right. Akrington switched off a touch there and nearly a touch fortunate to not already be behind. Just one defeats in their last 16 league games now. Wrexham Alexander's team pushed up towards the edge of the area. Ficked on first time and right fires it in. Bradford into the lead and it's taken them just 12 minutes to do so. This is first goal since coming back to the club on loan in January. And just played forward towards Cook who helped it on first time. There's nothing that Vitek could do to keep it out. Great start for the visitors. Peeling for it here, it stays in play. Who does it? Corner to Akrington. Comes towards the front post but Andy Cook gets it away. Not wanting to remember for Ben Woods. The best of first touches and he just launches it out to this near side and puts the ball out of play. Akrington looking a bit shaky early on. Richards with the throw. And right is in again here and he makes it two. Akrington a mess defensively. Tyreek Wright helps himself to his second of the afternoon. Bradford pulling away from Akrington here. Where was the defence? Straight through Vitek and Akrington have got it all to do. Coming into this game having lost their last three. He's shown us too much so far here today. The first time by Walker. Chance now for Bradford to extend their lead further. Here's Cook, it's three. Brilliant finish. And it might be a case of how many Bradford wants to get here this afternoon. Fourteenth lead goal of the season for Andy Cook. And once again, just where was the Akrington defence? Lovely arching finish into the far corner. Akrington just want this first half to be over. He's marting outside of him. Can he pick somebody out in the middle? In comes the cross dealt with once again Woods. There's been a ball plenty for Akrington. Just not creating goal scoring chances. Ball towards the back post. Looping header and it comes back off the crossbar. Sam Walker just stood and watched that one come back off the frame of the goal and so nearly Akrington had a way back into this game, but not to be. The first half for Graham Alexander's team and it could still get better here. Halliday's delivery. Breaks now on the edge of the box. Plenty of players forward. Comes in but the header is glanced wide. They look like scoring. Every time they come forwards here, Bradford played a game on the road for four weeks now, Bradford, since they had a big victory against Rexham. Getting into a rhythm here today, although they have been helped. Some poor, poor Akrington defending. Can they find a way to give themselves a platform to get back into this game? Shot comes in from Wally, but it's straight at Sam Walker. This is an attempt from that kind of distance. It's dispossessed. The chance here to make it four, but it's some way off target in the end, Kavanaugh. Just off balance there as he got his strike away, but it did take a nick and Bradford will have a corner. This will be the risk that Akrington take, leaving those gaps in behind once again. Kavanaugh found by Cook. Akrington still just about in this game. There is Kavanaugh. Had a goal at goal and he might get the chance to do so again, but he prods it wide. He's looked lively since coming on. Just rushed that effort a touch for Akrington. John Coleman in charge in almost a decade. It has not been a good day for them. Bradford sensing theirs. Could get better. It so nearly did. Flashed across the front of goal and it was Kavanaugh once again. He's doing what he can. He just can't get his goal. Charging forwards. Still going here into the Akrington box. Now, can he pick someone out? Cross took a deflection. Set-piece situation. It comes in. It's pushed out, I think, by Vitek and then fired off target. Keeper came flying out. Didn't really deal with it. Could have had many more here this afternoon, but it remains at 3-0 with the header and then the opportunity to knock it long and just drop it in behind and it might break for Wally here. The bounce unhelpful. Tried to head it. Beyond Sam Walker. Often opportunity for Akrington, but it's been a disappointing day for them. Never going to score from there. Fist forwards. Steps in once again, but then strong challenge goes in and the Bradford players aren't happy. Further punishment. Card comes out for Conor O'Brien. It's going to be Parkador who has a go, but it was always too high for the wall, but couldn't get it to come down quick enough to wrap up the day in style, but it's kept out by Vitek. Bouncing around and bounce with Kavanaugh. Twisting and turning and winning his side of corner. It's in to stoppage time and it comes and it was so nearly a fourth again. They not added more to the scoreline here this afternoon. Bradford City ahead or away. Can only be seconds remaining here and just fizzed back into the box and Sam Walker will hold on to it. There is the full-time whistle. Well, the damage was done in the first half here. Two goals for Tyreek Wright. Both of them coming in the opening 23 minutes and the victory rounded off by Andy Cook. A fabulous finish by him. Alexander will be delighted with his team here this afternoon. Comfortable winners against Ackrington as they win by three goals to nil.
