 Walsall boss Brian Dutton said he wants a reaction following the Sadlers won their loss here to Newport in midweek But today's visitors to the Banksy Stadium a bang-in form Bradford City Eight wins in 12 matches since Conor Sellers and Mark Truman stepped in to stop the slide that did for Stuart McCall's tenure Have the side that was second bottom at the start of December dreaming of the playoffs. It really would be some story By contrast as Bradford have been racing up the division Walsall with one win in ten have been traveling in the opposite direction Bites bull forward Gordon who made the run Right, this was allowed to drift into a dangerous position and O'Saior Was able to get the shot off poor defending really that from Bradford Came past the first man and then the second on a wood Burnham to cross Difficult one to deal with I'd have been dropping out of the Sun like that now with Callum cook They spell of the match so far from the visitors Bradford Again, that's nice quick feet Bradford recycling the ball well. It was what? Nice ball to the far sides First real clear cut chance of the match Super ball over the top by Elliot Watt the Scott here And then Crankshaw with a layoff Shot just wide Really is phenomenal form that Bradford are in 11th place at the start of play also 15th They've not won in four Cook does well and the low shot straight out Liam Roberts playing some decent stuff Bradford The effort from Vernon also One just three of their first 20 matches all season 12 draws in there They have improved somewhat not in immediate danger Fantastic here and that's Bradford ahead three minutes before the break But Crankshaw did well initially And then Sutton took over Second goal of the season And he is third ever goal in league football and it was a cracker Bradford's magnificent form Set to continue that Walsall can muster a response in this second half So your Steps back and well, that's a dangerous ball in Hornby clattered to the turf there by Dan Scar They stood off him. Oh, so you're there I was able to bend that goal woods No sunlight over the banks is stating him at the moment and that is difficult in With a ball in the air Walsall Still cover To pick out Anthony O'Connor Bradford corner off goalkeeper Roberts had to just palm that clear An interesting connection on the near post there with the header Walsall looking to count up straight away useful ball that bypasses Osai, you're they couldn't make the most of that on the breakaway there the home side It all happens from defending the corner in from O'Connor Bradford five points off the playoffs at the start of play today. It's a useful ball. Oh, where's the defending cook makes it to Andy cook on the turn The player who was top scorer for Walsall in season 2018-19 Puts them in further trouble today What on earth was happening at the back there for the home side? Cook just drifts in between white and scar turns and fires home Three goals in three starts now for cook the on-loan man from Mansfield. They are a team just flying Full of confidence Bradford to do a spotter defending though late on trying to protect this two-goal advantage Called up into the near post not cleared and in Think that was scar with the final touch 13 minutes to go and Walsall are back in it sloppy goal to concede from a Bradford point of view They're still leading this is lavery the substitute Sadler McDonald oh good feet there from McDonald's and Shoveled away by O'Connor. Oh, they're gonna appeal for a penalty there Not given That's a foul was clear there trick the last defender Oh Momentarily at sixes and sevens time running out here for Walsall Shooting chance may be for right Determined to go alone What for closing in now the Bradford run Will continue 30 points from 13 matches since the managerial change and the Bantams continue to soar higher Another polished display on the road a week after the win at Cheltenham Four straight victories now for the team of Truman and sellers six in seven That's lightning form in anyone's book too good for a Walsall today Certainly, and it's formed that just might carry them all the way to a promotion push today's victory Leave them just four points off the playoffs Walsall drop two places final score Walsall one Bradford City 2
