00:00Bradford said he progressed to the second round of the Carabao Cup

00:03with a 2-1 victory over Championship side Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park

00:08with goals from Ibu Toure and Will Swan within the first five minutes

00:12being enough for the Bantams to win the game.

00:15No, great start for us.

00:18Lads went out, Blackburn scored two really good goals from our perspective

00:22and played some really good football in the first half.

00:25We were composed in possession, switched to play.

00:28We were much better in possession than we were on Saturday

00:31where we spoke to the players about it yesterday.

00:35We felt we didn't do ourselves justice against Northampton

00:38but tonight we have done.

00:41Disappointing with them scoring just before half-time

00:43but then it becomes a question mentality

00:45but the personality and character of this group of players is magnificent

00:49and delighted for the win, delighted for the supporters

00:52but the players today, I'm really proud of them

00:54because that was a tough game against a really good opponent

00:56and not one of them shirked the challenge

00:59and it was great to see.

01:01Two goals inside the opening for a minute.

01:03It's sort of the start you dream about, isn't it?

01:05It is, yeah.

01:07I thought they were really well worked

01:08and the second one was from the press

01:10which we talked about before the game

01:12but the first one was really well worked.

01:14And Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker

01:16has made clear how the club have looked to bring in

01:19good characters into the squad this summer

01:22during the transfer window.

01:25We were pretty picky in terms of the new players

01:30who we want to bring in

01:31because football quality is one side

01:34but it's also important to find the right characters

01:37and I have to say

01:37not just from the football point of view

01:40but also from the way they are as human beings

01:45they fit 100% to this group

01:47and also to our squad

01:48so we're a pretty united group

01:50and lots of spirit and togetherness

01:52and there's always a key

01:54as a newly promoted side

01:55to give yourself also a chance

01:56to survive in the top flight

01:58and in this terms

01:59we're definitely also in a really good way.

02:02Just a word on the support today

02:03almost 50,000 Leeds fans here in Ireland

02:06are sold out of Ewa Stadium

02:07how good is that from a good turnout today?

02:10Yes, incredible

02:11and also a wonderful experience

02:13especially for our new signings.
