    Steve Cotterill has warned of Bradford City’s expertise in the air as they visit Ashton Gate tonight (7.45pm) aiming to end City’s super start to the 2014/15 campaign.

    The City boss says Phil Parkinson will have his Bantams team well drilled against his table-topping side.

    Bradford will be without their skipper Stephen Darby, dismissed in the most recent 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield United, but Cotterill insists they have plenty of good players in their arsenal.

    He told Bristol City Player: “We saw some of Bradford’s game (televised against Sheffield United) on the bus home from Coventry on Saturday.

    “I know Phil Parkinson and Steve Parkin will have the team well organised.

    “They’ll work hard on set-pieces, both attacking and defending. It’s a big part of their game.

    “We know they will be dangerous and it’s about staying switched on in both boxes.”

    City, meanwhile, could set a club record for the longest unbeaten start to a campaign, having already equalled the previous tally of 13 set by the third tier title-winning side of 1954/55.

    Cotterill said: “The confidence and spirit has grown since pre-season. This group aren’t just team-mates, they’re friends as well. They go to war for each other.

    “For such a young group, they’ve remained focused. They’ve been together for a few months, but you look at them in training and think they’ve been together for years.”

    Korey Smith has recovered from a hamstring injury, meaning Cotterill has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
