 A home game most welcome for Wraxham, after three straight away defeats in League and Cup. Currently in fourth spot, their mission to climb back into the automatic promotion places and it begins here. Bradford down in 18th, but such is the congested nature of this division. They won't have given up entirely on a surge of the standings towards the playoff places, though it would take an eternal optimist to expect it given recent league form. The Bantans without an EFL victory in 2024, their most recent fourth-tier maximum came just before Christmas at Doncaster. The Welsh club have been utterly dominant on their own turf, unbeaten here in lead two since opening weekend, winning their last eight EFL matches at this stadium. But Bradford are hoping to build up a head of steam here and this is promising, nice, sotted pass by Chapman and the shot is destined towards the corner. A conco had to be alert, Chapman pulling the strings for Bradford City, played the pass and wasn't the worst of effort scrambling to his right. Wraxham's player between the posts. Control from Cannon, pulling the strings, conducting the orchestra, Cannon thought they'd won a corner, but that's a really teasing cross for Stephen Fletcher, classic Fletcher header. But Sam Walker springs to the rescue for the Bantams. Fletcher from a Scotland international, half a dozen league goals for his latest Clavie, watched it onto the head, steered it well, it's a brilliant piece of shot stopping that from Walker, outstanding. Just posing the questions with Cannon again, pushing the pass, the red shirts and George Evans, clever. Having to be patient here, Bradford defending in determined fashion, Evans allows that to run, then gets it back. Here he is, the number 12, Evans for Cannon, Evans gets it back, they're playing their own private game here and then the shot is unleashed, but always sailing over the bar from Andrew Cannon, one in the lead, two in the FA Cup. For him, this season, Walker not tested on that occasion. Bradford keen to replicate their results in the AFL trophy, semi-finalists in that competition and it's brought their only tastes of victory so far this year. Raxham, underfield, is always in the right place at the right time, is reading the game, is outstanding. And now Raxham is streaming forward, there's a fairly cynical foul in the eyes of referee Ben Speedy and that's a yellow. Brad Halliday with the challenge, set-piece opportunity for Raxham and the header, zooms wide of the target, another menacing delivery, clipped into the box and Walker very relieved to see that one sail wide, wasn't a million miles away from the deadlock breaker. MK Don's swindling and crew, the three sides to take any points with them from visits to this venue this term, scoring 13 goals between them admittedly and Graham Alexander was in charge of MK Don's when they won here. Can he work his managerial magic again in this one? Seeing his team just have the odd attacking foray, that's a fairly routine stop for a player after a Conquo's quality. Of course, Ben Foster retiring in August, a Conquo although he's wearing 33, he's very much the number one for his team. The Yorkshire outfit did triumph here in the Carrival Cup in August, drawing 1-1 then winning on penalties. He also finished one apiece in the corresponding fourth tier fixture. The City's last league win at Raxham came in September 1995. Graham Alexander struggled for points of late, hoping to mastermind a first league victory in nine. Drawed three of the last four, they have been competitive but it's Raxham again and it's a really good whipped in ball. By Barnett and Lee always willing, 13 league goals, top scorer, flashes the head a wide of the target. It remains nil-nil, fascinatingly poised this game. Bradford have played their part, they've had to do quite a bit of defending. They've done it well and when you've got Andy Cook waiting in the middle for a cross, anything's possible. This is guided towards him, he's gone down and Raxham protest their innocence, but the referee has pointed to the spot. He thinks Hayden committed the foul and it's a golden chance for Bradford City to take the lead in this game. Here he is then. Andy Cook, can he find a way past a con quo? No! Saved with the legs. Well he's failed to convert three of his five penalties in league two this season now as Andy Cook, but you've got to give a con quo a big amount of credit. That's brilliant from the keeper and it remains goalless. Well Bradford will be frustrated, they couldn't take the chance. Will it galvanize them? Will Raxham come on strong now? They got out of jail with the penalty, here's Cook, good feet. Can he get the shot away? Can a con quo save? Cook on the follow-up goal! Denied from the spot, but not from open play. From villain to late hero and you can see how much it means to him. The Raxham keeper kept him out from 12 yards, but Cook was not to be denied this time. Bradford's main scoring man shows determination, resilience, character and belated finishing prowess. Try, try again Andy and you will succeed. That's a big goal and a big blow to Raxham's promotion hopes. Somewhat rare feeling is this for Raxham. The last time they failed to score at home, November 2021. Are they going to find a late equaliser here? Surely going to be toes a long throw this, isn't it? Yeah, the number four goes over, he knows his job here. It's a long looper into the danger zone. And the ball goes over the bar. And maybe that's the end of their hopes in this game. Not how the owners wanted to mark three years at the helm. Messers, Reynolds and McElhaney won't have enjoyed this one. There's the final whistle, music to the ears of Bradford supporters. It's Raxham's first home league defeat since the first day of the season. Alexander was in charge of MK Don's then, now he's in charge of Bradford and he's loving this, what a result for the Bantams. And he cooked the scoring hero. His penalty was saved, but then he had the strength of mind when the chance came afterwards to take it. Brilliant from him, brilliant from Bradford. Raxham nil, Bradford won.
