Manager Paul Jewell has pledged not to be forced into drastic changes when his Bradford City side travel to QPR tomorrow.

The Bantams boss knows that victory is paramount at Loftus Road with promotion rivals Ipswich being three points clear and only three games remaining.

City lost a thrilling derby clash with Huddersfield last weekend but Jewell has stressed he will not be panicked into resting any of the players on duty six days ago.

He said: "I will only make changes if I feel they are for the right reasons. I will not be pressured into anything after just one game.

"If I do make a change or two, it will be because it is what I think is right. I have never been the sort of manager to chop and change for the sake of it after one bad result.

"Every time we have had a setback this season, we have bounced back. There is no better time than the last three games to do just that again. Ipswich have to throw it away now so we have nothing to lose."

Goalkeeper Gary Walsh looks set to shrug off the flu bug which caused him to miss training this week although Jamie Lawrence is battling to be available.

City also travel to Loftus Road looking to avenge one of their worst results of the season - a 3-0 home defeat by Rangers in November.

City: Walsh, Prudhoe, Wright, Todd, Jacobs, Westwood, Dreyer, Moore, O'Brien, Sharpe, Beagrie, McCall, Whalley, Mills, Blake, Watson, Rankin, Windass.
