BRADFORD CITY V SWINDON TOWN - Player ratings

WES FODERINGHAM

Wrongly adjudged to have brought down Billy Clarke for the penalty, recomposed himself and made several superb saves. 8*

NATHAN BYRNE

The wing-back showed plenty going forward and his delivery from corners was a threat. 8

RAPHAEL BRANCO (booked)

Steady at the back, but room for improvement, growing in confidence to push forward more. 7

JORDAN TURNBULL

Slipped a couple of times but worked hard and did well having to marsall the dangerous James Hanson. 7

NATHAN THOMPSON

The skipper will be pleased with how his players responded after such a shaky start. 7

BRAD SMITH

The Liverpool loanee is improving all the time, his corner helped create Obika’s first. 7

YASER KASIM (booked)

Made some lovely runs, put himself about and came close with a delightful free-kick. 7

LOUIS THOMPSON

Put under immense pressure for Bradford’s opening goal, looked good going forward. 7

MASSIMO LUONGO

The Aussie international made some fine runs and played nice passes, but did overrun things a couple of times. 7

MICHAEL SMITH

Worked his socks off, lovely cushioned header to set-up Obika’s first goal, maybe could be a little more aggressive when shooting. 7

JON OBIKA

What a debut. Two goals in the first half and showed some real class. 8

SUBS

ANDY WILLIAMS

(for M Smith 68) Did a decent job when he came on, but didn’t get many chances. 6

JAKE REEVES

(for Obika 82) Little time to make any impact in the game on his debut. 6

JOSH LELAN

(for B Smith 90) Like Reeves not much left in the game to make a telling contribution. 6

Not used: Belford, Waldon, Barker, Barthram.
