  6. Bradford had the freedom of Valley Paradepublished at 17:15 BST 27 September

    FT: Bradford 1-0 Blackpool

    Gavin Wallace
    Final Score at Valley Parade

    I’ve never reported that a team cruising to a 1-0 victory, but that’s precisely what I’ve just watched at Valley Parade as the hosts go back to the summit of League One.

    Bradford had the freedom of Valley Parade down Blackpool’s left hand side and Josh Neufville ran a mock there all day.

    Neufville should have scored on the stroke of half-time, as the ball whipped in but the winger was running at it and the header flew over the bar.

    It wasn’t long after the break before the former Yeovil man was on the scene though. The ball was recycled well by the hosts, it fell to the winger who, inside the box and on the angle, curled it round his man and into the far wide bottom corner. Blackpool keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell had no chance.

    The Seasiders offered little, struggled to get bodies in the box despite playing with two up top and it showed why they are struggling.

    The Bantams go marching on. There’s just no stopping them!

    Tendayi Darikwa scored Lincoln's second

    Inside London Road - the grumbles of Peterborough fans were eventually drowned out by the jubilation of the travelling Lincoln supporters.

    We had 60 minutes of a good game, with only a moment of magic from 30 yards the difference. But Tendayi Darikwa's lovely effort, slammed across the face of goal from the right, sealed the deal in the end for the in-form Imps.

    Lincoln look a classy, fit side - they've won their first game here since 2006 on Michael Skubala's 100th game in charge.

    Peterborough came into this game with hope after two straight victories. But they lacked the cutting edge they needed, and looked more like the side that took one point from the first seven games in League One before that.

  8. 'Blackpool poor in the final third'published at 17:08 BST 27 September

    FT: Bradford 1-0 Blackpool

    David Unsworth
    Former Burnley and Everton defender on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Big problems for the manager. Dare I say though Blackpool were the better team.

    They were just so poor in the final third. What frustrates me is the injury time, there is no urgency. They were playing lovely football but it's all about winning. Bradford won ugly but got the three points.

  9. 'A team full of fight'published at 17:05 BST 27 September

    FT: Bristol Rovers 2-1 Salford

    That is what Rovers deserve. They were brave, they changed shape and it worked. There was controversy again from the referee but Luke Southwood came in for the big moment.

    If you haven't seen a Darrell Clarke side before, this is it. Full of fight. Huge three points.

    That is class. What a fantastic save. Luke Southwood is so, so brave there. This is pandemonium here.
