Skipper Stuart McCall is looking for Bradford City to drag Middles-brough and Wimbledon into the relegation mire.

The Bantams travel to West Ham tomorrow looking to build on recent victories over Watford and Arsenal - their first back-to-back wins of the season.

City are still in the bottom three but with Boro and Wimbledon just four points ahead, McCall believes the pair can be dragged into relegation trouble.

He said: "For so long there has been four other clubs with us in the battle to stay out of the bottom three. If we could get three points the pressure would really be on both Wimbledon and Middlesbrough.

"At the start of the season I had a feeling about Wimbledon. They had a new manager, there were rumours the new owners did not have much money so I wondered if they would get dragged in.

"When we played them early in the season, their main man was John Hartson but he has missed a lot of the season. And they have no more money for signings so this could be the year to take advantage.

"The same goes for Middlesbrough. Confidence is not high up there and the fans are going against them so hopefully we can drag them down."

City also go into the game determined to see some capital gains after losing all three visits to London this season.

Manager Paul Jewell looks set to select the same side which chalked up the memorable victory over Arsenal last Saturday.

Gary Walsh and Matt Clarke are both out injured so Aidan Davison will deputise again in goal with Neville Southall on the bench.

Lee Mills will also miss the trip with a back injury he picked up in the midweek reserve defeat at Liverpool.

Jewell says his side must not get too carried away with their last two wins. He said: "We have to be careful we don't get too excited because our most important game is at West Ham tomorrow.

"Our away form has been disappointing and it is a cause for concern but we should travel full of confidence.

"We have to repeat the effort we put in against Arsenal and Watford if we are to get anything out of the game."

lCity's talented young defender Andy O'Brien has been called up for the Republic of Ireland's Under-21 squad to face the Czech Republic at Belfield Park, Dublin on Tuesday, February 22.
