Jody Morris has urged Swindon Town to 'go up another level' as they chase a first win in 10 matches on Tuesday night.

Town entertain promotion hopefuls Bradford City having arrested a run of four straight losses with a goalless draw at home to Barrow on Saturday.

It was an improved performance by Town compared to recent weeks.

Talking to the media ahead of the midweek match, Town head coach Morris recognised the quality of opposition his side will be dealing at the County Ground tomorrow night.

The Bantams are managed by former Manchester United and Wales striker Mark Hughes.

Morris said: “It’s going to be a tougher challenge [compared to Barrow] as far as opposition is concerned, because they can hurt you in a lot of different ways.

“They’ve drawn quite a lot in their last 16 or so games, but they are difficult to break down and beat and they’ll certainly still be fancying the automatic spots.

“They’re a confident and experienced group who will be coming to Wiltshire for the win as they have done with the league's others teams, that’s for sure.”

The sixth-placed visitors also possess the division’s leading top goalscorer in Andy Cook, who has scored 27 goals in all competitions so far this season.

The Swindon boss spoke of the threat that the prolific forward could pose in what looks to be a difficult night for his defenders.

Morris said: “They [Tom Brewitt and Tom Clayton] should both be pleased with their performances against Barrow, but I think the level needs to be higher if we’re going to combat what Bradford will bring.

“There’s an element to Cook which Barrow didn’t have, he’s an experienced character who uses his body really well and is extremely good in the air, not to mention he’s scoring for fun.”

Morris had plenty of admiration of opposition boss Hughes, who will be the first former team-mate that he has managed against in first team football.

The pair played together at Chelsea whils the Town boss was coming through the Stamford Bridge club’s ranks.

“Sparky [Hughes] was great for me, I was just a young lad coming through when he signed for Chelsea," he said.

“He was an outrageously gifted footballer but also a winner, which explains why he’s done so well at management.

“I looked up to him a player and now I’m still continuously looking up to him from a managerial viewpoint.”

“The fact he’s still in the game when I’m sure if he wanted to put his feet up, he could, just shows the appetite he still has for football which I find admirable.”
