00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has made clear that he is only satisfied if Leeds win from now until the end of the season.
00:08The Whites drew 1-1 away at struggling Luton Town in the championship on Saturday afternoon to see them drop to third place in the league.
00:16We are just 100% happy once we win three points, but it's a good point on the road.
00:22So I'm pretty clear also in my view, we came here against a site where most of the players have played Premier League last season.
00:31They had a horrendous start into this league, but right now everyone has realized, okay, we have to stick together, we have to fight to survive in the championship.
00:38And they are on the up, they had many, many good results.
00:41And especially once you go down 1-0, it's so, so difficult with all their physicality and long balls.
00:47Of course, you're just 100% happy if you win the game.
00:50But I was pleased with the reaction of my Leeds to stay calm, to have the equalizer.
00:55And we didn't allow them to have one chance after they went to lead, one half chance perhaps in the second half.
01:01And Karl had a decent save anyhow, but it was also not a clear chance.
01:05It was more the other way around.
01:06We had then, especially in the end of the game, yeah, more or less a situation where we should have scored.
01:10Of course, Manor normally has to put the ball away.
01:13And finally, Bradford City manager Graham Alexander was very pleased with his side's response to their midweek defeat.
01:19As they defeated crew Alexandra by two goals for nil to see them go top of the League Two table.
01:25Thanks to the win.
01:26I felt the players yesterday and even on Wednesday when we touched on the game.
01:32But certainly on Friday when we sort of delved into our performance in the first half the other night.
01:37I felt there was a determination there to get back to what we are and to understand what we are.
01:42So I felt we had that.
01:44I felt the goal helped us do that.
01:45But the players were ready to perform at the level that we expect.
01:49And they come to expect from themselves because they're good players.
01:53They're a good team.
01:54And we just felt we went away from that in the first half on Tuesday.
02:00We have to understand what we are.
02:02And that's my job to remind the team and the players.
02:06And remind myself now and then because sometimes you can get loads of information.
02:10You look at everything and you actually forget the basics of what you are as a team.
02:13You look at everything and you're going to be able to do that.
