Bradford 1 Swindon 0SkyBet League One
RESULT: Bradford City 1 Swindon Town 0
Bradford scorer: Clarke (20)
Swindon Town's end of season woes continued today as third placed Bradford made it six wins out of seven against Luke Williams' men.
Now just 6 points off the dropzone with 5 games to go, it was always going to be a tricky encounter away at Valley Parade, but in fairness to the visitors - they didn't make it easy for the promotion chasing Bantams.
Clear cut chances were at a premium for both sides, and it was a somewhat fortuitous goal that finally broke the deadlock - Billy Clarkes looping header somehow finding its way past the town keeper after a favourable bounce on the uneven turf.
Jermaine Hylton came close to levelling for the Robins with a speculative 20 yard effort, and a late penalty shout also fell on deaf ears.
Town manager Luke Williams saw plenty of positives from the match "We’re very disappointed with the result of course but there are some positives to take out of that. I think second half we were the better side and I think potentially we had a penalty that wasn’t given from what I thought was a fantastic move. In the end I think the draw would have been fair on us."
