    Bradford are going to kick themselves after this game.

    They've had chances but squandered them.

    Nobody's gambling, or on the front foot wanting to score.

    Fresh from his yellow card, David McGoldrick lines up yet another effort.

    He is given room inside the Bradford box but drags his shot wide of the far post.

    David McGoldrick is the first name in the book for a slightly reckless challenge on Brad Halliday.

    Thanks for that!

    Notts midfielder Jim O'Brien gets an inadvertent elbow in the face from scorer of the own goal Richard Brindley as he tries to help out his team-mate.

    He carries on though.

    Bradford have been by far the better team in this second half.

    Notts have had chances but are overplaying rather than being ruthless.

    Notts County 4-1 Bradford

    County back on the front foot.

    It opens up for David McGoldrick and his super cross wins a corner.

    From the set piece, the former Derby striker finds space outside the box and tries to pick out the far corner with a curling shot which goes narrowly wide.

    Moments later he draws another save from Harry Lewis.

    He fancies this.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 60 mins

    Notts County 4-1 Bradford

    Another ball into the box finds Andy Cook who heads over.

    Notts boss Luke Williams reacts to Bradford's dominance with changes of his own. Three of them.

    John Bostock, Will Randall, Kyle Cameron are off, and Connell Rawlinson, Tobi Adebayo and Sam Austin are on.

    Well, would you believe it?

    They've mustered the energy to play.

    Just three more to go.

    GOAL: Notts County 4-1 Bradfordpublished at 56 mins

    Richard Brindley own goal (56 mins)

    They couldn't, could they?

    A loose pass out of defence allows Brad Halliday to run at the Notts defence.

    His drive is cleared out to Alex Gilliead who lines up a shot from the edge of the box.

    It takes two ricochets on its way past Sam Slocombe, the final one from Richard Brindley who is credited with the OG.

    They deserve that.

    Bradford now winning the ball back in the Notts half.

    Andy Cook heads a cross back across goal but it's just too far for Tyler Smith who has to stretch out a leg and guides it over the top.

  13. 'Yet to settle'published at 13:43 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2023

    Notts County are yet to settle since the break.

    They haven't got going yet, but will look to add to this advantage.

  14. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Notts Co 4-0 Bradford

    Much better from Bradford.

    Brad Halliday is found in space and his through ball releases Tyler Smith in the box, but Sam Slocombe gets a left hand to it and turn its out of play.

    Andy Cook gets up highest to the resulting corner but loops his header onto the roof of the net.

    Bradford first to show after the break.

    Ciaran Kelly stoops to get his head to a cross into the County box, but guides it past the right-hand post.

    Notts Co 4-0 Bradford

    As it stands Notts will be heading up from fifth place into second, and above Wrexham on goal difference.

    They had failed to score in three of their last four matches so will be keen to make up for lost time.

    And there's no way their strikers will want an early finish to their afternoon.

    Particularly Macaulay Langstaff who is just one strike away from his first hat-trick of the season.

    Notts Co 4-0 Bradford

    One can only wonder what Bradford manager Graham Alexander said to his troops at half-time.

    It may not have been too complimentary.

    He makes two changes

    Matty Platt and Ciaran Kelly are on for Bobby Pointon and Ash Taylor..

  18. Chester loving League Two life with Barrowpublished at 13:35 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2023

    For a man who has played in a European Championship semi-final and scored in an FA Cup final, League Two football may feel a step down.

    But not for James Chester. The joy of simply playing football is at the heart of his move to Barrow, who are flying high in sixth in the table.

    A Premier League defender with Hull and West Brom, having come through the ranks at Manchester United, Chester was a key figure in Wales' run to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

    But at 34 and with the end of his career closer than the beginning, he is making sure to get the most out of his Saturday afternoons.

    To watch these goals back will be absolutely embarassing.

    There needs to be substitutions because this side cannot be asked to do the same job in the second half.

    I don't know where to start.

    There's too many holes in this bucket.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2023

    Just what the doctor ordered for Notts County boss Luke Williams.

    They have dominated the first half and full deserve their four-goal lead through David McGoldrick, Macaulay Langstaff's double and Dan Crowley's sublime finish.

    Bradford look so open at times, but Notts have been absolutely superb.
