Last time out: <strong>Bradford</strong> <strong>City</strong> 0-2 Derby County<br />
<strong>Bradford</strong> <strong>City</strong> opened the new season<br />
with a 2-0 defeat at home to Derby<br />
County last weekend.<br />
An experienced side who had a strong<br />
transfer window over the summer, the<br />
Rams would prove to be too good for<br />
<strong>City</strong> on the day.<br />
Samantha Griffiths’ 13th minute effort<br />
put the visitors ahead, and this lead<br />
was doubled just after half time by<br />
Nicole Dale.<br />
Hannah Campbell won a penalty for<br />
<strong>City</strong> in their bid for a way back into the<br />
game, but new signing Meg Lawson<br />
could only watch the resulting spotkick<br />
clear the crossbar as the visitors<br />
took all three points home.<br />
It was the start of something new for<br />
<strong>City</strong>, who came into the game under<br />
new management and with a new look<br />
team.<br />
The same was true of their opposition,<br />
making for an intriguing fixture on paper.<br />
This expectation transcended onto the<br />
pitch on Sunday afternoon too, with<br />
the two teams both playing their part<br />
in a game of football very easy on the<br />
eye.<br />
It was no surprise then when we were<br />
gifted a terrific opening goal; Griffiths<br />
bending a free-kick up and over a claret<br />
and amber wall, beyond debutante<br />
goalkeeper Charlotte Oates.<br />
