CITY won't be shouting from the rooftops if they make it back-to-back wins against MK Dons tonight.

Stuart McCall's side go into this week's Valley Parade double-header with spirits boosted by a first victory in five games.

Alex Jones' winner at former club Port Vale lifted the Bantams back into fifth spot as they look to make it exactly a year unbeaten at home in League One.

But McCall insists nobody in the squad will be allowed to get ahead of themselves and explained: "It's just not my style. I don't get involved in all that.

"We don't have anyone shouting their mouth off in the dressing room about this or that.

"I hate crowds singing stuff when you're 2-0 up or things like when they booed Jonesy. You knew he'd go and score after that.

"We're in and around it and we're happy where we are. We know we could have been far better off but we'll just carry on taking one game at a time."

McCall admits City are "slightly above" where he expected they would be at the start of the season – and he is amazed that MK Dons have found it so tough after relegation from the Championship.

The Bantams boss said: "I'm 100 per cent surprised by that. You probably look at them and Charlton as teams you think would have been up there at the beginning of the season.

"Look through their squad and they've got a wealth of riches. It was a big win for us down there and put them on the back foot a little bit. They struggled at home after that.

"As much as we'll want to up the tempo and try to get the start we did in the last home game, there might be need for patience for everyone – the supporters, players and us the coaching staff.

"Certainly they don't concede many goals since Robbie Neilson took over. But we're at home and we know how we want to approach it."

Mark Marshall has come through running tests on his hamstring and will be assessed nearer to kick-off.

McCall also has a decision to make on whether Jones is ready for a fuller run-out after his match-winning cameo, while Alex Gilliead has pushed his own claims with his Vale Park performance as a substitute.

The City chief said: "You look for an impact from anyone with pace coming on late in a game when people are naturally tiring. I was really pleased with him.

"Obviously it depends on what formation we decide to go with. If we stick with a diamond, we don't have a winger – but we've played all sorts of formations.

"I see him as a good squad player. He's bright in training and that will have done him no harm to come on and make a difference."

City, who are aiming to make it 25 home league games without a loss, then host Peterborough on Saturday.

McCall would love to win both but said: "If we were to take four points from every two games between now and the end of the season, we'd be more than happy.

"We've done that in the last two, although there was natural disappointment against Bolton after the way we played.

"But if we were to pick up another 24 points from the last 12 games, that would see us well up there in the play-offs.

"We know we need to turn these draws into wins at home and we'll be doing everything we can.

"But MK Dons are a dangerous opponent, with players capable of hitting you on the break with their pace, craft and quality.

"I'm sure it will be another tense affair as we've had recently but one we're looking forward to after the result on Saturday."
