McCall's men continue perfect start
Stuart McCall's Bradford side made it three wins in as many games in League Two with a ruthless 2-0 win over Rochdale at Valley Parade.
First-half goals from Michael Boulding and Peter Thorne were enough to sink Dale, who went close in the opening stages through Omar Daley and Keiran Toner.
But it was the Bantams who broke the deadlock after 20 minutes. A cross from Thorne on the right wing was brilliantly finished off by his strike partner Boulding, who headed home with ease from six yards out.
The game then opened up with chances for both sides. Rory McCardle heading over from a Adam Rundle corner for Dale, while Lee Bullock volleyed just wide for the Bantams and Thorne flashed a header inches past the post.
Thorne, Bradford's runaway leading scorer, did manage to get on the scoresheet just after the half-hour as he converted an inswinging free-kick from Paul McClaren to take his tally for the season to five.
Dale's chances were limited and Bradford maintained their 100 per cent winning record with comparative ease.
