 Bradford City are the visitors to Blundell Park tonight in a meeting of two struggling sides whose early season ambitions were certainly much greater, but both picked up significant wins at the weekend. Results they hope will kickstart their respective campaigns. Grimsby won their derby against Scomfort, while Bradford beat promotion chasing Cambridge United to move four points clear of the league to Drocksoe. Bradford City just two points behind Grimsby who sit 19th in the table inside the penalty area. Bradford City are up against a number of their former players this evening. Harry's one of them, a race who plays the ball in field and Henry another gets the shots away this time on his left foot, where maybe his right was more trustworthy and it's a comfortable save for Richard O'Donnell. The third game with Mark Truman in temporary charge of Bradford City this evening. His first two have yielded four points on the board. Maurice dangerous on that right hand side and dangerous looking born as well. It was well dealt with at the back. The bodies were lining up inside the penalty area. I'll bend it to take this corner. The third of that trio, a former Bradford players flicked away at the near post, only partially cleared. As time volley was struck well enough, but that was off target. Decent strike from Luke Spokes. Free kick is chipped into the box headed away. Grimsby scores the edge of the penalty area though. This has been a strong start to the game for Grimsby Town and a back heel gets Spokes away down the right hand side. He'll be the first defender. It is behind though for another corner kick for Grimsby Town. A delightful football for Ian Holloway's side. Striker James Hansen also a legend at Bradford City missing tonight. Headed towards the near post comes in. The long tail Gibson forwards. Just about kept in play. Cook crosses. Bought down on the chest. Overhead volley. What a finish that is. Move back the scorer. And having soaked up the early pressure, Bradford City absolutely stumped Grimsby. It was a worldie of a strike. Second goal in three gates. 82 years of age now, Lee Novak. That was as good as goal as he'll have scored. Throughout his pretty illustrious lower league career. Striking again. Their record here is not good. Grace striers to get them back into the game with a ball towards the far post. Faint appeals for a penalty. Grimsby. The official waves it away. Two records. Bradford's win against Carlisle at Valley Parade last season. It's time though he didn't give the decision against Bradford City. The ball played into the channel. The touch as well. Downfield is not forward. Looking for the run of Sutton. Keepers off his line. And it's another sublime finish. A minute before halftime. Levi Sutton. His first goal since a summer move from Scumford. Levi Sutton's last appearance for Scumford. Against Grimsby Town in the derby. So him sent off. It's been a review turn this time around with his first for the club. Double change made by Ian Holloway. A halftime as he tries to arrest this poor form. The lowest home scorer is in lead two. Trailing to nil. They do manage to get a cross in towards the far post. And it's cushioned back down. And within four minutes of the restart Grimsby. They've found a route back into this game. It was the cross from Bennett. And one of the substitutes heavily involved. Nira Edwards knocks it down by Harry Clifton. With his fourth goal of his career. Exactly two years to the day since his last goal. Scumford forward now. And that's a decent looking ball. No flag. Cross in the byline. Grimsby scrambling and struggling to get the ball clear. Novak lays it off. In the end, it goes all the way through to the great goalkeeper. Smart treatment. It's been a great deal of an Algerial experience. The under-18 bus. It's been certainly relishing this every roll. On the first team set up. Edwards on the substitutes. Shield off a couple of challenges. And worked the ball into the right-hand channel. Marey Snell to settle for a corner in the end. But rather frustrated it wasn't more. It's an out-swinger. And the header is over the crossbar from Luke Waterfall. Letty Pollocky scored the winner at the weekend with Scumford leaving on the bench this evening. The ball's a goaler player who replaced him in the starting line-up. Good challenge comes in. Jester's left and tried to play the ball to the play-down field. And that turns out to be a pretty good ball as well. It might be in for number three. Pritchard needed support. The eventual shot that came in is harmless and wide at the post. The ball played over the top. If Pritchard had scored at the weekend against Cambridge, his lay-off and a strike from Callum Cook-White. Lovely touch and space to run into. The ball is cut back for Luke Hendry. Redford threw bodies in the way of the ball. O'Connor did he get the final touch? Must be feeling did. To get away from his man. And Grafford come over the halfway line now. Good skill to get away from his man as well. And a real opportunity. It should have been number three. And it should have been game set and that's there. Late in the game, Callum Cook with a golden opportunity has come forward at the other end. And a challenge comes flying in to deny them the counter-attack. But let's have a look at this one again. And a good save from James McHugh. She has the ball towards the edge of the Bradford penalty area. You've got everybody back there defending this one. And a victory. Two worthy winners in the first half. Levi Sutton with memorable efforts. And the good revival continues for Bradford City. 7.9 under their caretaker manager. As it finishes here, 2-1 to the visitors.
