Charlton's Josh Edwards swings in a superb cross but Luke Berry gets his angles all wrong and heads well wide - that was a decent chance for a man who has four league goals this season.

Nnamdi Ofoborh shows incredible footwork and Nathan Smith lunges in to take him down.

Stonewall decision.

It is wave after wave of Badford attacks. Alexander Pattison has gone the closest to a second. He rushes onto a pass but just shoots over the angle of the goal.

It has been all Bradford so far, but they almost shoot themselves in the foot. Romoney Critchlow backpass to Sam Walker is woefully underhit but the goalkeeper scampers off his line to blaze the ball into the stands with Josh March on the prowl.

Charlton clear a long throw from Charlie Goode to the edge of the area and Stevenage's Jordan Roberts goes for a volley but he fails to connect properly and it dribbles wide.

This is being played at 100 miles per hour but we're lacking a bit of quality.

Stockport's Oliver Norwood fires a cross towards Kyle Wootton who lets it go over his head to Ibou Touray who sprints into the area and strikes the ball on the bounce but his effort flies over the bar.

Last man Tunmise Sobowale is caught out on the ball and all of a sudden Vale have a three forwards clean through on goal.

Rakeem Harper carries the ball and goes to ground as he reaches the box. Joel Cotterill looks sheepish but the referee gives a foul against Harper. A big let off for Swindon.

It is a chilly Valley Parade today, there is overcast and grey skies.

The gloves are on and overall a very cold day here for football.

Luke Berry lines-up a free-kick just outside the box for Charlton but strikes it into the wall.

As the ball loops up into the air the visitors' goalkeeper Murphy Cooper is slow in reacting but they manage to scramble it clear.

A quick start from the visitors. Jayden Stockley meets Jaheim Headley's corner and forces an instrinctive save out of Jack Bycroft.

Bradford have started really well and there is a danger they could score a few goals in quick succession

The crowd are in good voice and in these next 10 minutes it is about damage limitation.

There has been a real bite from Bradford so far.

What a start for the Bantams!

It is a wonderful cross from the left from Bobby Pointon to find Antoni Sarcevic, but the header is even better. The striker throws himself at the ball to power past the goalkeeper.

It's one of those dank, murky days in South East London where you feel it's not going to get properly light.

Both sides are throwing themselves into everything here with Jamie Reid in particular looking lively for the visitors.

Valley Parade is one of the best grounds in the league, without a doubt. With the amount of fans they get, it is incredible for this level.

A new day and a new challenge and Harrogate have got to keep playing the way they have been and it will give them every chance of coming away with a point, if not better.

Right,

Four early games to get our teeth stuck into and we are under way...

Joel Cotterill and Aaron Drinan come in for Swindon after their 5-1 thrashing of Carlisle. Out go Ollie Clarke and Gavin Kilkenny.

One change for Port Vale from their last league match - a 2-1 victory over Accrington. Tom Sang was sent off in the 13th minute of that game and is suspended. Ben Heneghan takes his place in the back three.

On December 6, when they were bottom of the Football League, Swindon fans were fearing becoming the third former Premier League club to exit the 92.

Fast forward to a little over a month and things have changed. They have 13 points from six matches, a longest winning run for six years, and sit top of the form table.

The odds of them securing a play-off spot has fallen from 150/1 to 22/1 and boss Ian Holloway was named the League Two Manager of the Month earlier this week.

Their four wins in a row have come against teams below them in the table, so promotion-pushing Port Vale will be a good barometer of what is achievable.

In their favour though, Vale have won just one of their last six away league games, after winning five of their prior seven.

The Robins signed goalkeeper Connor Ripley after Vale cancelled his contract, but a gentleman’s agreement between Holloway and Darren Moore means he won’t make his debut, despite technically being eligible.

A contrast in team news at Valley Parade. Harrogate are unchanged from their 1-1 draw with Crewe, while Bradford make four alterations from last weekend's defeat at AFC Wimbledon.

Romoney Crichlow starts for the first time since returning to the Bantams from Peterborough last month, while Brad Halliday, Tyreik Wright, and Bobby Pointon also jump in.

If Bradford could carry Valley Parade with them, they would be cruising towards League One. Instead they are seventh and in the congested corridor of automatic promotion uncertainty.

They have only lost once there in the league this season, with only Walsall gaining more points at home – having played an extra match. On away form alone, they would be 14th.

Victory today would be their seventh win in a row, which would equal the winning run at Valley Parade between March and May 2016.

Defender Paul Huntington has noticed visiting players looking rattled, especially when the Bantams play up to the crowd.

“Use that to our advantage as much as possible,” Huntington told the Telegraph and Argus, external this week. “We have a big following that really get behind us so hopefully we can continue to give them something to shout about because we appreciate their backing.”

North Yorkshire rivals Harrogate are the visitors today, with five losses in their last seven away games – but eight points already in 2025 have eased their relegation worries.

Despite the concerns over dropping out of the EFL only two of the bottom six sides in League Two have changed managers this season - Carlisle and Barrow.

Rock-bottom Carlisle swapped Mike Williamson for Mark Hughes this week hoping he can help the, bridge a five point gap to safety, starting at Grimsby today.

Morecambe missed the chance to climb out of the drop zone in midweek by losing at Newport and they visit Notts County while Tranmere, who gave boss Nigel Adkins a vote of confidence this week, are at Salford.
