 One of the few sides to complete a full stack of fixtures this Christmas Barrow haven't quite pulled in the points They'd have hoped for during all the festivities as they welcome Bradford City the Junes Hotel stadium to kick off the new year The hosts are just four points off the bottom two in SkyBit league two So home victory against the Bradford side that haven't seen a league win since October Just helps steady the Barrow shift the touch suddenly get some breathing room between those fights at the bottom Ball over the top should be dealt with Bring it under control and clear it away from his own 18-yard box And we fed ball through the center and it's the only breakthrough for the visitors Simple as you like Lee and gold touch it away Inside ten minutes Bradford with their first real opportunity to go forward The goal comes far too easily Barrow point of view you have to say Just one through ball down the center of the field It's a neat first touch to get it on to the right boot Just stab past the keeper no chance for Farman Bradford had the early breakthrough Frustrated to just a point against struggle as old as Just before the new year down here Dig themselves out of a hole. It's a good ball in towards the back post Teasing delivery just needed a vital touch that never really came Hutton with plenty of whip on that Right into the danger zone the keeper wasn't sure whether to come or not where his defenders really brown Little patient here again trying to be the provider hanging it up towards that back post and this time Bradford City keeper able to parm it away behind for a corner though. Leave the wing a Hutton Good ball in once more he had options just waiting for it white Structed into space on that far side of the field Another corner Barrow haven't given up on this game by a long shot short with the set piece Body's waiting for a delivery. It's gonna be from the edge of the area and home beat Very comfortably far to attain an effort in the end Fancing as chances from a long way out really just dipped right into the hands of the keeper Adams things on the touch line down there Hold their advantage too much to shout about though from Bradford going forward since then into the channel As well stay on his feet turn inside beating his marker if it's just slightly scuffed Safe one for the keeper to hold on to some huff and puff from Barrow Just not taking their chances when they come one the half opportunity squandered Is there a flick on to come to bounce all the way into the Barrow box? And that's well held up to it's a calamity at the back Landy Kirk having to capitalize on the opportunity They started the first half brightly. They've started this second half even brighter Bradford City hit Four minutes after the restart and he cooked up was the advantage First appearance since October for the center forward. He scored on that date He's found the back of the neck on his return to the starting 11 once more Barrow will question the defending again though Key moments. They've lacked conviction Been punished by the away side once more cheaply given away Beedling having a go wasn't too far away either Mistakes like that the away sides defense Nicely hit took a ricochet on the way through Keeping it alive and Barrow keeping being themselves alive in this tight Josh Gordon From close range couldn't really miss the target From K this down to the byline right into the danger zone Reyards out Gordon halfs the deficit That is the response Mark Cooper would have wanted from his men the heart of the pitch Feeding it forward Patrick Brown sending it across. It's a brilliant ball that's causing problems at the back Brown with the best effort Brown keeping it alive on the far side of the field although Possession there easing delivery Connor Brown who really got the shooting chance in the end Everyone pushing forward for the home side here Continue to come these chances from set pieces they send this one straight into the mixer They go short Making himself available before it sent back out wide now it comes into the danger zone and that's turned in It's not gonna count for me knocked into at the near post as he tried to collect that cross Challenge from the forward was unfair Thought they had their equalizer hit great ball into the danger So it's all very crowded and clustered as Gordon was the closest to it He'd had he's second of the afternoon in his side second Equalizer just yet over the top from K really well in this second half Gordon pulls it back Time for a corner Stevens the substitute room inside the area on this near side There's too many bodies in the way eventually Happen over the top of the crossbar From the American it's inside there just twisting and turning Couldn't keep his effort down Just don't get the feeling it's coming right now for Barrow despite all their efforts and impetus See gives it across To support on the overlap didn't come his way King ball in from Patrick Brooke one's behind Nothing comes from it in the end so many times. They've just needed that One moment of magic from a center forward in the right place inside the six-yard box today Last chance perhaps for the host kept alive Everybody encouraging the shot scooped around the corner this time by Gordon But that is the full-time whistle It's defeat to start the new year for Barrow on home soil But Bradford City are back to winning ways in the division their first in eight in the league Move some up to the middle of the table and perhaps just perhaps Run for the playoff spot still might be on Derek Adams his side this season two goals from Lee Angle and Andy Cook doing the business away from home to start the calendar year finishes here Barrow one Bradford City two
