00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has made clear just how proud he was of his players
00:06following their 4-0 win over Bristol City that kept them in the championship title race.
00:12Yes, I'm proud of the boys. It's not easy in this quench time period, a bit nervous
00:17period then to deliver performances, but we have done this in all of the last game days
00:23in fantastic fashion also today against the side who was actually in red hot form, so
00:28I think third in the form table of the last five games, unbeaten since a while and then
00:33to win this game 6-9, front foot start, scored goal after goal, another clean sheet bin.
00:39If we would have stayed with the foot on the grass in the second half, we could have perhaps
00:42scored a few more, but fantastic performance. I'm proud of the Leeds, also keeping in mind
00:47that this was a quick turnaround for us after a pretty exhausting and energy-costing away
00:53game at Oxford. Fantastic win for us. The outside world takes a home win for granted
00:59because of our home form and was more concentrated about what will happen later on in the day.
01:05I want us to stay humble and to stay focused on the contents and to make sure that we play
01:10a proper game of football and are on it and want to win this game and are good in the details
01:14and don't lose our heads and keep our coolness and keep our calm. This is what the Leeds have delivered.
01:21And Bradford City's Alex Patterson shared his devastation following the Bantams' loss away
01:27at Doncaster Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
01:29We are absolutely devastated. It's not the result we came here for, we wanted to come
01:36win the game. It's not nice to see a team celebrating when you've just lost a game and they're celebrating
01:43going up when that's all we wanted to achieve. It's not nice to see, but we've got to use
01:48it as motivation going into the next week. We have to win next week, simple as that. We've
01:53said it for a few weeks, we have to win this game, we have to win this game and we haven't
01:57took that opportunity when we've had it in our hands. Next week's our last chance to learn
02:02and now we're relying on other results. It's gut-wrenching obviously for the lads, the work
02:07we've put in to have to be relying on other results and us having to do our job, which we will do.
