Tomi Adeloye isn't showing the desire to play for Swindon Town, according to Jody Morris

Tomi Adeloye is not showing the commitment and dedication required to play for Swindon Town, according to Jody Morris. Total Sport’s Joe Acklam spoke to the head coach ahead of Swindon taking on Bradford City.

Adeloye has played for a total of 20 minutes since Morris was appointed as head coach in January and has been excluded from the squad entirely in favour of on-loan striker Luke Jephcott for the last two matches.

Morris said that Jephcott has been being selected ahead of Adeloye as he is showing the required interest in playing for the shirt.

He said: “At the moment I prefer Jephcott for what we need.

“I want people that want to play for this club and want to do everything they can to perform and when asked to do certain things, I want people who are prepared to do that.

“Jephcott has been doing that of late and if anything, he has been unlucky not to have played more minutes under me.

“At the moment I am purely picking a team that I think is the best team to help us get the result and for the last two games it has been Jephcott that is in front of Tomi [Adeloye].

“I think there are moments when you have to be 100% sure that everybody is [committed to the cause] and there have been elements that I am not 100% sure that he [Adeloye] is.

“Regardless of anything contractual or anything like that, my main focus is to pick the most suited team to go and get us a result.

“At the moment Jephcott is ahead of Tomi in doing that.”
