 two points off safety get set to host a managerless Bradford city as the visitors look to make a last dash for the playoff spots in the back end of the Skybet League two season eight points off sevenths in the division. The bantams have managed just one win in their last five while John Sheridan has his old inside unbeaten in his four games in charge so far and striving to get out of the bottom two. They are just those two points off safety coming into today could launch themselves out of the relegations over the first time since mid-November with a victory. Pinging around a little untidily. It's brought under control eventually by Adams on the far side of the field but his control is fleeting to say the least. Sutton coming forward. Lovely ball towards the far post and the header's up and off target. The first real chance of the game goes Bradford City's way. Delfonso at the back post arriving right on cue. Just can't keep the effort down. Just trying to get over the defender. It doesn't quite get there completely. Heart with the throat. Knotted inside by Hope. Sutton coming the other way. Does well to create some space for himself too. Lovely turn by Delfonso's court. Couldn't maintain his balance and a free kick in a decent position. Four in the wall plus additionals around there and it strikes the wall and bounces away for a corner. Still more pressure to come on Danny Rogers' goal. That one not going to be a problem. Cook sends it into the box headed away at the near post. Nothing coming from these two set pieces, although another chance for Cook perhaps if you can find the space to put it into the box. Neat little threaded ball instead. That's well collected and a chance now for McGee to pull away into space and it'll continue up to the halfway line here. It's an excellent charge from the defender. Just continuing down that right flank and now trying to provide the support. Missaloo gives it back. Drops it right into the box. Everybody missed it. Stops sees his effort deflected away. Defense quickly turned into attack thanks to the run of Harrison McGee. Jack stops just unable to finish the move. Doing his best in a difficult position and a corner one into that crowded cluster and not it down. Hallam hope with the opener after 19 minutes. Oldham Athletic lead three goals this season now for hope and he perhaps is giving hope to the old and fans that they can get themselves out of the bottom two this afternoon. Just wanted it more in that. Section of crowded bodies inside the penalty area. No chance for the keeper Bass who has to watch it just sale past him. Not the start that Mark Truman, the interim manager would have wanted to see from his Bradford City site down on the score sheet inside 20 minutes and giving away a free kick now in the middle of the park is still fun. So is the offender. Adams stood over it. It's not a great clearance to say the least and a comfortable head for Davis Keeler done. Just dropped down to him so perfectly and all he had to do was not at home from a fairly acute angle. They took the finish well and inside 25 minutes, Alderman two up four in three games now for the older number 10 is a big part of the fight back in the battle at the bottom. That one a very easy one, though, and probably his easiest that he's had in these three games stuck down at the corner flag as well to win a corner, though, from that position, you can see the frustration on Nathan Delfonso's face. Bradford pinned back right now to the way to the edge of the box finds a way through somehow, but there was no real Venom on Wheelan's effort. They're really up for this today. It's a remarkable turnaround under John Sheridan. Two goals to the could still pushing on and looking for a third winning for here, the home site eventually brought under control as to move back to the feet of Sutton who wants more charges through the center of the field. That's a lovely ball as well into Cook's path. Just a little too wide really to make the effort easy on the forward. Better signs of life from Bradford, though. Move closer to the interval. Good chance for their forward hit. What does the interim boss said at halftime to try and revive this Bradford city side in this second half chance to send one forward this from the set piece stood over it. Lofted towards that far post didn't really have the distance on it in the end, so I'm going with the effort. Well, he stayed forward and stayed up for that free kick. Songo certainly not the position you'd expect to defender to be pulling off this sort of effort just off the top of the crossbar and away really good chance that for the away side. Launched across into that space on the far side of the field and now the blue shirts start to support the attack. The two skull scorers waiting inside the box as heart looks to try and find some space and he does really well to create that for himself. The team header in the end though from hope was just hanging a bit too much in the air. Couldn't really get the power on the header that he wanted to be forced to go back launched into the box. So many up there from the back once more. And again, it was Yan Songo who was causing problems fell down to his captain in the end. You couldn't get it on target Portia O'Connor just trying a little bit too much perhaps with the acrobatics. There was a wild arm there from Portia O'Connor just after the aerial challenge. He certainly took a swing. It was right in front of us here. And now it's all getting very heated as the older athletic players step in. I don't know if something was said as well or if it was just the tussle and the heat to the moment. But the Bradford centre back has got himself in real trouble here. I think plenty of discussion down there on the sideline between everybody involved. It's a red card. 71 minutes on the clock. Bradford lose their captain down on the score sheet down on the team sheet and troubles now on the road for Mark Truman in his sight. There's the swing unnecessary and then he just continues to lumber in as well into Hallam ho. Fair bit in the aftermath. It all then got very ugly indeed. The red shown to the Bradford number four and an early bath and a big uphill task now. Sutton goes wide. It's a really good job from midfield hasn't he? It's Levi Sutton just continuing to try and persist and make those breaking runs. He's won a corner into the box and not it down. Tom Elliott rising above everybody else eight minutes ago. There is life for Bradford City, perhaps there's a bit of a discussion going on between the officials on that far side. It's the aerial challenge from the substitute unfair, perhaps debate over no goal. And that sums up Bradford City's afternoon. They're perplexed as to why that's been ruled out, but it has been ruled out. Let's have a look here. Is it for clattering the goalkeeper? Roger's takes a fair bit of bruising in that play by Elliott gets it back at his feet this time and a good save by Rogers continuing to push even though they're down a man and they're finding opportunities. Scoop forward to safety and that is the full time whistle. It's still the unbeaten run continuing for John Sheridan and Oldham Athletic, the new manager's arrival is certainly doing the business right now. Three victories and two draws under his stewardship for the first time since mid-November. Oldham are out at the bottom two in Skybet League, too. They win it by two goals to nil on home soil. Thanks to Keela Dunn and Hallam hopes goals. The final score. Oldham to Bradford City nil.
