A good point or two points dropped as Bradford City and Preston played out a goalless draw at Valley Parade last night, personally think it is a good point although the teams at the top are now starting to escape from view.
A slightly disjointed first half after the double sending off of City's debutant Bennett and North End's Kilkenny after a bit of handbags in the centre of the pitch. Kilkenny's dramatic fall to the ground did him no favours either.
North End had started the better against a non too impressive City defence with Brownhilland Gallagher going close.
Following the dismissals both sides struggled to adjust but towards half time City got on top and only a superb block stopped Doyle from scoring.
A frentic start to the second half as both sides had three good chances within the opening five minutes, Rudd pulling off a super save from a close range header.
Play settled down and North End started to look dominate, Brownhill hitting the post from the edge of the box, he's going to be a decent player. Garner led the line admirably for North End, whilst the veteran Jones ran the show for City.
Unsurprisingly both sides tired in the latter stages and as I said probably a point each was a fair reflection of the game.
Like Valley Parade as a venue with it's two vertigo inducing stands, still the hardest ground in England to actually get too.
Bradford City 0 Preston North End 0 Att 13686 (1114 from Preston)
