Goulding has netted eight goals for Cheltenham this term
Cheltenham 4-0 Bradford
Jeff Goulding scored twice as Cheltenham thrashed Bradford.
The striker capitalised on Tom Adeyemi's defensive error to put the Robins ahead, although his shot took a cruel deflection off Rob Kiernan.
Marlon Pack fired home the second from 25 yards and, after the break, Goulding netted again from a goalmouth scramble.
Dave Syers put the ball in the net for the visitors but it was ruled offside, before Wesley Thomas's sublime strike completed the rout.
Cheltenham boss Mark Yates told BBC Gloucestershire: "We were desperate to get the frustration (of the Southend defeat) out and today we worked harder than the opposition.
"We were really good today and the spirit and quality that we have showed.
"We'd talked about our 'goals for' column at home, we wanted to improve it, and we've now gone from -3 to +1 on our our goal difference. I'm pleased with the effort and the way we played."
