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.
