LEAguE 1 RouNd-up

PHIL PARKINSON’S current and former clubs slugged out a 0-0 draw at the Macron Stadium to keep Bolton and Bradford among the League One pacesetters.

In the first meeting between the teams since 1998, Bolton created the best of a shortage of opportunities.

But the visitors ground out a fifth successive league draw.

Bolton’s clearest chance of breaking the deadlock arguably came in the opening 20 seconds as Colin Doyle beat away a shot from Sammy Ameobi.

Ex-Bradford favourite Jamie Proctor headed over and Doyle thwarted Ameobi again, before Mark Marshall forced Mark Howard into a rare save.

The second half was similarly cagey, with James Henry and substitute Zach Clough going close as Bolton again shaded the contest in terms of possession and territory. Bradford finished strongly, but weak efforts from Marshall and sub Jordy Hiwula were comfortably dealt with by Howard.

Fleetwood were bamboozled by on-loan winger Ryan Colclough, who bagged a hat-trick as the Cod Army slumped to a 4-1 defeat to MK Dons.

Colclough handed the visitors an early lead as his cross wrong-footed Chris Neal and slipped into the bottom corner.

Nathan Pond nearly levelled for the hosts before the break, heading David Ball’s corner onto the top of the crossbar.

The visitors grabbed a second around the hour mark as Dean Bowditch was felled by Jimmy Ryan, and Bobby Grant scored from the spot.

Colclough added a third shortly after, collecting keeper David Martin’s punt forward and firing low inside the near post, and he sealed his hat-trick with a lastminute penalty.
