 The only Bradford City could turn draws into wins. They'd be among the promotion contenders already this season. But Saturday's stalemate at Rocksdale is the twelfth time this season. They managed just a point, a lead too high. It takes the Bantams eight points off the playoffs. Walsall's revival at the back end of the year hasn't continued into 2022. Beaten here 2-0 by Exeter at the weekend. Walsall had now lost three straight matches. The Bank's stadium has to get better for Walsall. Just one win in their last nine here in all competitions. But they come forward now. What a ball in! And what a miss from George Miller. And the Bantam striker completely miskicks it. The shot comes over the bar. Wilkinson a shot in the arm for Bradford City though. All changes for Derrick Adams side tonight including goalkeeper Alex Bass on debut. Who must have thought he was going to concede there? Frelkeld's throw. Fainter deals for a penalty. Callum-Cook overlapping run from Reinholtz. Beaten away, not once but twice by Rushworth. Goldkeating the Brighton loanee. Still only 20 years of age but he's been a regular. Don't take the side this season. He's palming away, Reinholtz's efforts. And there are plenty of times to think about it. Maybe Alex Gilly had sort of done better with the rebound there. Canceler. Earing. Works the ball over to the right-hand side. It's a deep cross. Full-wanter penalty this time. Given the other way. Delivery. He wins up for it. Almost. This is the mistake. O'Connor. He's Keirnan. Rinden Keirnan. Unselfish. Oh, what a save from Bass. He was wrong-footed. And he still manages to readjust himself and tip it over. It looked as though it was heading in for certain. Lomblabadi. Miller. Almost. Perfect ball for Wilkinson. Loose to clear. Gilead sets off on a run now. Takes the ball into the channel. He's got Reinholtz on the overlap. His cross is cut back and deflected. And it's Matty. Daily with the goal. You have to say it's against the runner-play. A little bit of fortune. Favouring Bradford City. It took a deflection. It's his first goal for the club. Eight minutes before half-time. Those travelling bansoms. And a goal to cheer behind it. Hayden White. Good run from the full-back. It's a corner. It's going to be an out-swinging corner. Towards the penalty spots. On the edge of the box. Picked up by White. Again, hangs the ball in. Headed back across. Oh, and another brilliant save. We only joined the club yesterday, but Alex Bass is having a worldie of a debut. Daniel's headed across. Somehow Wilkinson kept out. Soles chairman Lee. Pominet insists he's not given up on the season yet. But things will turn around for Walsall. It is familiar territory for them at the moment. Not playing badly. But trailing. And they make something of this free kick here, though. It's a foul on White. And a yellow card to boot. Gearing. Stands over it. Mill's shot. It's deflected. The first goal for Bradford City. It was a deflected strike. They will not care. Mill's shot hit Miller and goes in. George Miller had scored seven in his first 12 this season. Had gone 15 without a goal. He will not care how he scores it. He's back on the mark. Two lone spells at Bradford City. A goal scorer, George Miller. And he's so often the case. There are connections between these sides. Andy Cook. The big fans' favourites at Walsall. Doesn't have many opportunities tonight, though. Gearing, Keirnan. And he's the cross-up. Hitted down and just wide. Wilkinson's header but Miller couldn't touch it home. They have won each of their last two visits. Walsall. Gilead. Bad cross from him. It's Cook. Defenders get the block in. Desperate defending from Walsall. Bradford couldn't get the shot away quickly enough from Walsall. Play with one there, really. Cook, the former. Sadler, he knocked it down and caused problems in the box. But Matty Daly couldn't get his second of the night. 18 goals in league one for Walsall. Andy Cook before joining Mansfield back in 2019. Eight goals so far this season. And he's just returning from injury tonight. Fould with the substitute, Foulds. And we'd love to score his first goal for his hometown club. And Matty Foulds, positive run. His effort off target. Who's had an honourable debut tonight. Alone from Portsmouth. The lead game in several months. Has played a couple of games for Pompey and the Pavarjohn's trophy this month. You buy Sutton. White sides into the challenge. And no real complaints at the yellow card. It's a free kick from Bradford City. Made up towards the far post. And it goes over the top of everybody. Appeals for a handball. And it's been given. Silence descends. Banks' stadium. Let's have a look at this one again. Walsall's players can't believe it. Well, it's seen there to strike the arm of Mills. Just a couple of minutes remaining. It's been a long, long delay. And of all people, it's Andy Cook to take it. Straight down the middle at Fould City. Look as though they have snatched the three points. Derek Adams pleaded with his side before this game to start building some momentum to mount a playoff push. And what an important goal that could be the former Walsall striker with his ninth of the season. Bradford City with an important victory. And you can see by the body language of both sets of players the disappointment of Walsall in not taking anything from this game. And Bradford City's delight as they get the points on the road. They left it late. But it was Andy Cook.
