JOSH Cullen has warned City not to get cocky because of their unbeaten home run.

The Bantams host Peterborough this afternoon having just brought up the anniversary of their last league defeat at Valley Parade.

Tuesday's 2-2 draw with MK Dons made it 25 games since they were last beaten by Colchester – but midfielder Cullen insists that will count for nothing against the Posh.

"It's an achievement, and we're happy with that, but now it's important to put that behind us and kick on," he said.

"We've had a year unbeaten at home and that gives us confidence – but we don't want that to turn into a bit of complacency.

"We can't think that just because we're playing at home and haven't lost for a year that it won't happen. We've got to approach this game like every other and give 100 per cent as we do every week."

Fifth-placed City have drawn seven of the last eight at Valley Parade, which has seen their advantage in a play-off spot whittled away by the chasing League One pack. But Cullen will not point the finger at the current condition of the pitch as an excuse.

He said: "It's not the best surface but it's good enough for us to play our stuff on. If you've got good players, and I know we have, then you shouldn't really have too many problems.

"It might be a case that we can't play it out from the back as much because the pitch is a bit bumpy and more mistakes can happen.

"But we're not a team that just plays five and ten-yard passes, tiki-taka, we can mix it up and we've got the players to do that. The pitch isn't a carpet but if we have to grind out results, then that's what we'll do."

Cullen was a key member in City's charge for the line last season, when they won nine of the final 12 games to nail a top-six finish, and he is determined his second loan spell in West Yorkshire can follow suit.

The West Ham youngster said: "We're in a good position. We have put in the hard work to get ourselves there and we don't want to let that slip now by having a sloppy end to the season.

"Peterborough are still playing to try and get themselves in a play-off spot. Then we go to Coventry, who are fighting for their lives at the bottom.

"Teams are as determined to get the results as us and it's getting more and more important at this stage because time's ticking down.

"It's down to us to put in 100 per cent again and again. If we do that, I'm sure our quality will shine through and hopefully we can get the amount of points we need to finish up in that top six."
