Match Preview
McCormack boost for Robins Alan McCormack is expected to be fit for Swindon's clash with Bradford. The midfielder, who has been operating at centre-back in recent weeks, was substituted before half-time in the Robins' 2-0 victory over Gillingham on Tuesday with a knee problem. But the injury is not serious, and the Irishman will be available to face the Bantams. Swindon will once again be without goalkeeper Phil Smith due to a groin strain, with on-loan Wes Foderingham set to deputise. The Crystal Palace stopper has kept three clean sheets in as many appearances since joining the Wiltshire club earlier this month. Abdul Said is a long-term absentee with a leg injury, but otherwise Di Canio has no new suspension or injury worries ahead of the fixture. Bradford manager Phil Parkinson must decide whether to recall defender Andrew Davies to his starting line-up. Davies, on loan from Stoke, has missed the last three matches after his straight red card in the recent home win over Torquay and another loanee, Marcel Seip, has been partnering Luke Oliver in central defence in his absence. Parkinson will definitely be without full-back Robbie Threlfall, who was forced out of the midweek defeat at Macclesfield due to a thigh strain. Luke O'Brien replaced Threlfall on Tuesday night and should continue if the latter fails to make it. Midfielders Kyel Reid and Adam Reed, on loan from Sunderland, are both struggling with dead legs and are likely to face late fitness tests. Jack Compton and Chris Mitchell are on standby. The Bantams are still chasing their first league win on the road this season.

Match Report
Bantams deny Swindon Ten-man Bradford produced a sterling defensive display to grind out a goalless draw at Swindon. Phil Parkinson's men held on superbly for a little over half-an-hour after Andy Davies had been controversially dismissed for foul and abusive language by referee Oliver Langford. The defender looked bemused when the red card was brandished after he had hauled down striker Jake Jervis in an off-the-ball incident in the 57th minute. Yet despite the extra man advantage Swindon rarely troubled the visitor's goal with Matt Duke only being forced in to three meaningful saves throughout the 90 minutes. The home side's best chance came on the stroke of full-time as on-loan Cristian Montano grazed the outside of the post after a weaving run down the left-hand channel. But it was a disappointing display for Swindon, who looked bereft of ideas as an outstanding Bradford defence held firm and ensured they took a point with them back to Yorkshire.
