 Chesterfield and Bradford City then about to kick off. It's Bradford who will kick off in this first half And it's referee Elliot Swallow from Blackpool. I think he said he was from Blackpool Who will get the seams away at the start of this first half? It's like we're having a change. Bradford aren't going to kick off. It's Chesterfield now a quick twitch round by everybody and It's going to be Jack Clark who will Make the first touch and get the game on the way so Chesterfield versus Bradford City then the first home preseason friendly Bradford City have had an impressive start to their preseason They've won all their half a dozen games so far beating Doncaster and Blackburn Robes on the way Chesterfield of course have been away. It's Alfredton a 330 feet to Alfredton and then a 3-1 victory away at Matlock And number 28 there Saddle Kahn on the ball Kahn It's done well there Jeff King out on the right hand side here number 20 the man signed from Halifax down the line for Jack Clark King again takes you to the byline looking to put the cross in now surely King trying to go all the way I think they're near posting and he sneaked it over the line It's gone over the line. I'm not sure if that's come off the goalkeeper or if that's actually Been put in by Chesterfield football. Jeff King went all the way there down that right hand side Well, number seven has been Given the goal that was Danny Rose So it was Danny Rose that tapped it home in the end then we'll see the replay here now, Jamie Yeah, no doubt about that was it Danny Rose putting the ball home with Jeff King I thought he was going to cross much earlier He carried the ball as far as he possibly could went near post for it and it really was just a tapping from Danny Rose So we're just two and a half less than two and a half minutes on the clock. It's Chesterfield one Bradford City nil well taken there my The Bradford number seven about Acer It's going to be a Bradford free kick Taking my fold across to that far side of the field And scrambling to get hold of the ball there and still a chance here for Bradford City The ball laid off by Evans and it's Acer again That plays the ball well wide. I think he was going for the top corner there. Jamie wasn't it? It certainly didn't come off right. Yeah, he was just trying to go for the the far corner Just bend it round and just lean back a bit go under it. But it's a good start from Chesterfield Impressed with the start as you say the keeper being experienced. I think His experience got rid of that shocking pink kit, hasn't it? From last season He's got the yellow on I think I think the the kit looks great, doesn't it? Yes. Yes, it's nice if they play as well as the kit looks I think they'll be be champions without a problem. I think the kit looks fantastic today. Well, let's hope we'll be taking it Are you like a That's a little ball through a lovely ball through for pain and pains put it into the back of the net There's no flag from the linesman Despite the appeals from the Bradford defenders and it's two nil to Chesterfield We're in the six minutes of the game only on the spot. Let's have a second goal here Stefan Payne that'll do his confidence. No end of good And there we'll see on the replay in a moment the Chesterfield goal here It comes now a great little ball through there by Orioleca and pain seems to know exactly where the goalkeeper was You know exactly about his bearings and he put it home like a like a veteran, didn't he? He looks the part for centre half definitely Um With his size and stature so hopefully that'll hold us in good stead And it seems like a three at the back with Gunning and Maguire the other two But it's Issa on the ball at the moment for Bradford put out a play by Gavin Gunning And that's the first corner of the game and it goes to bramford city Keane scales the number 26 takes the short corner Issa plays it back to him scales Puts the cross in this time deep to the back of the six-yard box Scott Loach with a comfortable save there and no Bradford City player really giving him a challenge Issa now again bringing it forward for bramford city Jeff King with him Orioleca coming in as well there and Orioleca is penalised this time And it's going to be a bramford city free kick number seven About Issa down on the floor just getting back to his feet now And it's going to be the number 14 for bramford city matt folds takes the free kick. This is Issa on the ball Looking to take on Jeff King. He's got support by folds Folds gets past Orioleca with it, but doesn't care past Jeff King and the referee's whistle has gone anyway And bramford city this time for another free kick right on the edge of the penalty area So a wall of two Side of Khan And Calvin Miller And it scales to take the free kick And not of players at the back of the six-yard box there as they wait for the delivery the ball's driven in Apparently it isn't delivery but well cleared at the back Crys from everybody at the back there as well And I think it's uh, Lawrence McGuire that's actually gone down in a possibly a clash of heads there Tell her who wants more Played forward there by Gareth Evans And chased all the way down that far side. I think it's crack show Coming off McGuire and well defended there by Lawrence McGuire the ball Going out of play for a bramford throw quickly taken 21 is Rich Staunton Finding his way through the Shesterfield rear guard here Clark going with him finds a teammate again crack show plays it back the cross comes in this time. It's too long for everybody Well, the ball will play still keep him play folds in for isa Gunning goes with him Takes him out of the penalty area Matt folds plays the ball in once more This time it was Miller's header and then away by Oye Lecker folds again Isa Definitely on side about isa going to the byline a touch there By Oye Lecker in fact Oye Lecker didn't get a touch. He's gone out of play for a goal kick Can't away again by gunning Little layoff by rogue a nice ball there for miller calvin miller trying to go past the defender And winning the free kick And an opportunity for Chesterfield to put the bramford city defense on a little bit of pressure now They've got the two early goals, but bramford have come into the game a lot more in the last few minutes And look at the moment look the more likely to score, but we'll see what Chesterfield couldn't do From this free kick It's miller and king the two wide men that are Standing over the ball And it looks like it's going to be jeff king To take the free kick. So it's an in swinging ball with the right foot of jeff king Danny row on the edge of the area pains there as well It's headed away though by annie cook. He's back there on defensive duty rapid striker Miller now to take the throw Side of calm wanted it played early instead. It goes to dany row There's only pain in the box at the moment as row lays it off Miller looking to try and find rooms to get the cross in he managed to keep the ball in play He gets the cross in it side of calm with the header on the header just over the bar there Well, can row And now jeff king Chesterfield looking good again here on the attack king puts the defender on his backside king again Well, you like it. Oh, I was going to say he couldn't reach it, but he did reach it. Not once but twice Scales going in there with grimes And now side of calm wants more calm with the shot and A relatively easy save there for richard o'Donnell, but again chesterfield looking good going forward jamie We get the ball round the edge of the area. Nobody wanted the responsibility to shoot And crank shores on the ball now having a shot and crank shores hit the post It comes out to Side who can't and now miller and chesterfield get it away But a real chance there for bramford city and ollie krankshaw who's in the back post Beating the goalkeeper scott louge bramford aren't rewarded with a goal there and now bringing it forward again This is calm plays the ball through there to stepham pain can clock Little ball inside there by row clock goes again And the foot both feet were high. I think on both players there, but it's gone chesterfield's way And what I was saying there jamie about You know previous chesterfield teams two or three years ago get the ball in and around the penalty area But nobody wants to take on the responsibility and have a shot and dining rows The complete opposite to that any chance he gets he's in there, isn't he and he's willing to have a good go at it Yeah, man He strikes such a terrific ball It goes out to calvi miller on that left hand side miller twisted and turning against dorson right there on the Near post well saved by richard or donnelly. He would have been disappointed to let that one in the goalkeeper but a good strike there and Took the goalkeeper and certainly defense by surprise evans killer here staunton Sakura to matt foals once more Cuts inside and plays that one through to ollie krankshaw dorson Krankshaw again dorson stays wide Miller comes out to him and the ball played in there, but it's an easy one for the try list to get it away Chance to go near for bradford. This is andy cook on the ball trying to go through the Defenders there and andy cook winning the free kick I think if anything he must have been in obstruction more than anything else in there But so the referee spotting something there and bradford says he have a free kick now right on the edge of the penalty area Well, here's that chance for chestville jimmy a moment ago and right in there on richard or donnell I don't whether it took a deflection off maybe one of the center halves and Because if he if it didn't he was in a bad starting position richard, but a great save you've got a good strong hand on it Exactly. You've still got to make the save. Yeah, that's it. Yeah So nothing comes of this free kick So I think danny roll will be a bit disappointed because probably should have kept all of the ball up there a little bit and Gave it away and gave bradford a easy possession there Well bradford a great opportunity here as we approach half time to get a goal back I think it's icer to take the free kick And he can do them all day long can't he? Yeah from a chestville point of view, that's fine I think um, I think it was a wrong foot for that So I think the left footer needed to take it if it was after that corner to be honest. Yeah There's a referee elliot swallow gets the second half on the way chestville to Bramford city nil and the way we go for the second half now the second 45 minutes And the ball played forward straight away there and up for that one was gabbing gunning straight away And then the number 26 trialist for chestville as well making a contribution. He puts the ball out of play in the end and Bramford city throw Bramford city throw on the far side We're right on the ball trying to get it in there is callum cook And now air like it comes away with it for chestville We'll tackle though and bramford back on the front foot again there Sprinted down that far side to get the cross in and Well miller chasing after it, but it's bramford on the attack here and a great chance for bramford city He's taken the reflection there bramford number 15 charles vernam And with the shot And bramford get the first corner of the second half The ball then from the corner headed away by gunning And bramford will have the throw And number two to take the throw is oscar throw cold Throw cold will take the throw in And again throw cold now from Sutton there and a chance here bramford bramford city And put out of play there for a corner kick And bramford in these early moments of the second half putting pressure on chestville So the corner from callum cook Run goes near post there and Headed away by grinds And the ball going all the way through to gunning who manages to get a clearance on it, but it's not a way yet The ball played out wide again cook Made there by gillard then though Gunning going down there after receiving a thunderbolt ball there for his head Number two on the ball for bramford is threlkel plays it out to this near side Gillard We're giving the throw well than the free kick there But uh, no he's has he given the free kick yes, he has It's on its gillard standing over the ball Joined now by number eight callum cook It looks like he's going to be the one to take it Charles verner at the back of the six yard box of bramford at the moment waiting for the delivery So it's cooked to put the ball in and the header down And headed home by bramford city. It was a simple simply worked free kick in the end And uh callum cook with the ball in there And uh headed home in the end by number four portie o'connor So o'connor on the edge of the six yard box there heading home Unchallenged really it was jeff king who certainly got no height advantage over o'connor and portie o'connor Gives bramford a goal back. It's just to build two bramford city one Angle Gillard And bramford attacking now down the left hand side the tries there going into a way the tackle the ball comes in and a chance there for bramford city for li angle. I think it was but Gathering there my scott-loach the chateauville goalkeeper Gavin gunning through to western Little ball there for money or your lecker and now pain Playing out wide to king jeff king with the cross this time manderville went for it blocked by the defender And calvin miller Robbing the threlk out there calvin miller with a chance And the shot by well it caught it a shot the the tap by manderville just went wide there but Chesterfield there jamie it was a it was a decent move in the end They really started to threaten the bramford defense when it looked like the danger had already gone Miller fighting back there and uh manderville with an opportunity But just wider the bramford goal. Yeah, the best bit of play this half by chesterfield bramford have come out second half obviously with a totally new team and Started really well Threlk held Ball over the top of jamie grimes there chased all the way my Gilead who plays the ball into the edge of the six yard box angle couldn't do anything with it there Nobody keeps possession. It's still the angle I'm footing there by gunning was an important one, but still bramford threatened with gillard And it comes off jamie grimes in the end for a bramford city corner Both sides out of one corner repeating the first half bramford city He had three in the second half in these opening 15 minutes So it's callum cook again to Take the corner kick And not a players around the penalty area at the moment as cook prepares to Put in that delivery. It's headed away by weston Threlkill plays it back Number three on the ball there is liam ride alcohol former spire ice, of course And bramford attacking down that left hand side of the ball pulled back There was no bramford city shirts there though western on his own receiving the ball and chesterfield get it away now The ball's still in play over on that far side And bramford attacking once again the bramford city supporters behind scott loach's goal And again a good tackle going in there. I think it was gunning who was Also in the walls in the first half. He's down again at the moment That's the thing. I mean they had no chance with the goal. It was a decent header, but We're getting a little bit stretched now. I think we're um, I think maybe the uh With them having a fresh fresh 11 on and um, the fresh legs of bramford Tyre elected chesterfield. Chesterfield has a tiring a little bit of a coming As you say up to the 65 well up to the 70 minute mark. Yeah, which is understandable Which is understandable in preseason. It's only the third game That we've seen in uh in preseason. So they're going to tire a bit. You can see the two wing backs are not as um Bramford with the corner again there and uh Getting around the back there was threlkel trying to put the ball in a touch by the goalkeeper got it away We're not far enough then manderville Miles in the bank now it's all about getting that fitness up to the 100 percent which um, they're obviously Not at at the minute and they don't expect to be at the minute, but um Oh vernam on the ball for bramford city and opportunity here Is struck well over the crossbar by the bramford number eight callum cook and a good chance there for the bantams to level it but uh There's layoff there and cook striking it well over the bar. Give him a bit of confidence Well, it's angle on the attack again now for bramford city here It doesn't go past gavin gunning though That's a good foul. I think that for chesterfield it was uh It was on the move angle and um I'm gunning them to match with the pace. Anyway, would he just put his ground into it made sure he uh, he couldn't go anywhere So you take that I think I still have a dangerous situation of the free kick, but Reminds me of burgundy that used to play for insimilane years ago He used to say that the ball sometimes goes past me or sometimes the man would never bow So bramford with a free kick And the great opportunity here to equalize Try this goalkeeper in the goal for chesterfield Yeah, that's the thing a bit of pressure on him on this free kick. I think certainly. Yeah So what do we have to do from here? I think it's sally at what takes the shot and again He's made the save not quite as cleanly as the first time but he did what he had to do He didn't let him let it trickle out for the corner and he certainly didn't let it go in the net That was a tricky one took a bit of a deflection Um, but yep End of the day it's not gone in so he's done his job. Yep Headed by canovan gillard Threlkill Let's leave I shut them with the cross. Oh and the header off the crossbar Great opportunity there for bramford city. They won't come much closer than that Um, what an opportunity that was for bramford city to leave I shut them with the cross going in there And he thumbed that header against the crossbar Grimes have made a run through the defense. It goes out to the back of the box instead And I think it was tyson that guy's head on it in the end would push it just wide over the target header from gunning Ball given away there by chest appeal the now gillard on the ball for bramford city Angle plays that one into the path of Sutton back again towards liangal. They would go through the middle And uh, well, I won't say he's looking for the penalty. He didn't make any appeals for it Ali at what Canavan O'Connor The tackle going in there from western, but he couldn't keep the possession. The ball comes out to threlkill now on the bramford right Short ball in there to gillard who makes the cross it goes through everybody off the head Of angol and out of play for a goal kick Header forward by what? Angle and Gets past the trial is this time liangal leave by sutton's in here Sutton goes down the referee says no penalty as western made that challenge on leave by sutton And I think that was one of those that sometimes they're given sometimes they're not but uh referee The earlier swallows decided that was no penalty and bramford might feel a little bit aggrieved at that one You think that was a penalty? I think um Yes, you've only seen it once like everybody else was on that I think I don't think he meant to do it. I think yeah, I sort of tangled stumbled but What it happened? I'd be disappointed if that wasn't given for chesterfield to be honest if I'm totally honest I would uh I'd feel aggrieved if I was bramford there, um I'm a bit of hesitation again at the back there by chesterfield costing them a free kick And the referee wants the free kick taken from the right place first of all Bradford wanted to take it quickly obviously we hit the 90 minute mark now we're 30 seconds over And uh Again, no board so we don't know how long the referee will play Of extra time Well, is this one last chance of bramford to find an equalizer number eight column cook is going to take the free kick And it's everywhere on the toes and concentrating at the back for chesterfield now as cook plays this ball in with the right foot Oh and stopped well on the line by the goalkeeper there that was an excellent stop by the keeper And they fended down as well I think again, it was being a bit of our Achilles heel tonight. It was a free header again good ball in but another Another free header got the wrong side, but what a great save. It was a great save. Yeah, definitely, but um I think that's definitely something to work on in on the training pitch in the next games the uh The amount of free headers they've had in the box too many wasn't it? Yeah one results to a goal one of the crossbar and that could easily been a goal as well. So Well, we bramford city have a corner now Not do the free header on this one obviously Jamie grinds up for that one gunning. It was the headed away. Threlkold has it back into the area Again, it's gunning not once but twice getting the ball clear Liam ride on with the header forward And uh, Roli should deal with that one putting the ball Well, I thought he might have put it out of play Went straight to a bramford player and bramford have another free kick We're just about two minutes of stoppage time played now And bramford really turning the screw here on this just to build the fence now Once again another test for a header. So mark your man. Don't let me get a free header Well the referee marking out where the wall has got to be They know we're nearly to the moment It's just to be a wall being backed up now It gets rolling and king in the wall and cooked to play the ball in It goes through everybody And out of play for the gold kick. So no free headers on that occasion for bramford city And referee Elliott Swallow blows the final whistle here out of the technique stadium tonight And in this first home preseason friendly, it's been a victory for the Spireites Chesterfield scored those two goals very early on in the first half Tune it up in just six minutes And it was a very good first half performance by the Spireites Bramford changed their seeming half time completely 11 players came out of second half and that told on Chesterfield in the end Certainly towards the end of the second half bramford not surprisingly much the better side in the second half They got one goal back fairly early on on 49 minutes And that was scored through a porio conner One of the free headers that james been talking about in this second half Bradford city did have several more chances including another couple of free headers But they were unable to put them home a bit of poor finishing a bit unlucky at times as well But Chesterfield hung on for a victory tonight
