I WILL NOT PLAY AGAIN:Bradford city best player has decided to leave and never return again…
City crowned a strong first half with a 39th-minute opener from top-scorer Andy Cook, who took his tally to seven this term with a powerhouse header from a fine cross on the right from the impressive Jay Benn.
In the process, Cook showed his liking for playing County once again after netting four times against them last season.
The Exiles hit back on the restart and were rewarded for an eye-catching opening to the second period with Kyle Hudlin – on loan from Huddersfield Town – levelling with a thumping header after 65 minutes.
Despite going off the boil, City dusted themselves down and the introduction of Bobby Pointon and Tyler Smith helped turn the game back in their direction again in a watchable contest.
Super interplay between Tyreik Wright and Pointon set up Jamie Walker on 75 minutes and he fired City back in front with his first goal of the season with a low drive after being cleverly teed up by Pointon.
Pointon then rounded off a resounding final quarter from the Bantams by making the game safe late on, firing him an instinctive first-time shot into the roof of the net after another noteworthy assist from fellow Bradfordian Benn.
The success took the Bantams, unbeaten on home soil since March 19, into the top ten.
Alexander said: “It was a bit more like us at our best. I thought the first half was exceptional in how we played.
“I think we deserved a little bit more than the 1-0 lead. But we were happy with that.
“They came back into it, but I thought we enabled that a little bit and were loose in our possession and turned the ball over a few too many times and they counter-attacked at us and got a goal from it.
