00:00Bradford City head coach Graeme Alexander was overjoyed at his side's winning return to League One
00:06as they defeated Wiccan Wanderers by two goals to one at Valley Parade.
00:11Yeah, couldn't have asked for more really.
00:12Clean sheet maybe.
00:14I think we were wanting that as well once we were 2-0.
00:16But a great start to the season, great start to the game from us.
00:19I thought we put them under pressure straight away.
00:23Made our minds up.
00:24We wanted to be us straight away and show what we're about.
00:27And we know if we're in the final third, we've got goal scorers throughout that team.
00:30We've got people who can take people on.
00:32We've got people who can get shots off.
00:34We've got people with that instinct to be in good areas.
00:37So we've got to be in those areas as often as possible.
00:39And it was a real test for us today because they're a very good team.
00:43Obviously finished in the playoffs last season.
00:45And they've got a lot of good players throughout their squad really.
00:50So for my boys, it's a good start.
00:53It's a good indication about the challenge ahead.
00:57So I was delighted for them because they worked exceptionally hard in pre-season.
01:00You know, obviously two goals pretty early on.
01:02When you've been working as hard as they have done to get that reward instantly,
01:04it must be really pleasing as well.
01:06Yeah, look, I felt it in the changing room, to be honest.
01:09I was smiling just before when they were coming out for the kick-off because I could sense it.
01:14And Leeds United must get used to dealing with top-flight quality.
01:18They were the words of Daniel Farker following his side's 1-1 draw with Villarreal in pre-season.
01:23Good shift, yes.
01:25You know, my attitude, I'm just really happy once we win the game.
01:28But we face a strong opponent here aside on Champions League quality.
01:32But, yeah, to be honest, it's also the quality that we will face in the Premier League and we have to deal with it.
01:37You could feel that it's pre-season still for both teams.
01:40Of course, with many substitutions, sometimes the details were not perfect.
01:44But I think both teams had the chance to win.
01:46Both teams could have avoided perhaps the goal.
01:49Both teams could have made more out of their good situations.
01:52Overall, I think a deserved draw.
01:54And then, again, such a good side in the situation where we are still building for the Premier League.
02:01Definitely a good test.
02:02I mean, what you want to see is what you've got now, isn't it?
02:05Are you seeing those things that you need to see at this stage?
02:08Yes, overall, I think we are on a good path to be strong in the centre.
