The Ryan Hall Show

Starring that talented wingman Ryan Hall and a supporting cast of 19-goal Barry Corr from the spot and a Kane Ferdinand glancing header that completed a decent Friday night out for the faithful which just goes to prove what might have been, while leaving Bradford City, the best supported club in the division, still only six points from safety with only four games left.

Tuesday night is a big one for them, and the Brewers!

For all the League Two action played on the weekend of April 15th-16th, including Tilly's of two penalties, one given, one not, and a Chesterfield comeback that leaves them one point form promotion:

Luggy speaks to BBC Essex: "I'm very pleased, that's two 4-0's for us and I'm delighted we have returned to a bit of form at long last. Our home form has been turned around and rejuvenated and I'm glad everyone has taken on board my criticisms.That team out there, when they play right, have some ability."

Jacko to BBC Radio Leeds: "Nights like this are not easy for anybody but particularly for the manager so bitterly disappointed with the result and we're seriously now in a relegation battle. It's a must-win game on Tuesday because we have to get a win from somewhere. I had seven players missing tonight through injury so that doesn't help a squad but we should have done better here. It's a massive disappointment."
