00:00Leeds United can't take cup wins for granted. That's according to their head coach Daniel Farker

00:06following the Whites being dumped out of this season's Carabao Cup on penalties

00:11away at Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Leeds will now focus again on the Premier League.

00:17You can't take it for granted that you win the game. Of course we wanted to win this game.

00:21Of course we accept also that we were the favourite and that we are also self-critical

00:27and have to be self-critical at the moment but it's not like analysing. We have not played against

00:32a youth team today. We have played against a spirited fighting team who somehow managed

00:37after 90 minutes to not get beaten and by the better side in the penalty shootout.

00:41So is it the approach to the players? Is that why that happened? Or are there reasons for it?

00:49No, it's nothing to do with mentality or character because we tried everything. So of course it's

00:53more or less like in a normal game. Let's say for example Dominic had I think in the second half

00:58three great chances. I would say two of them normally put straight away to bed when he's

01:04back to full fitness but yeah he's more or less like he desperately needs this minutes to build

01:08up his fitness or players like Sebastian Bono was more or less injured during the whole preseason

01:12need this minute today. And Bradford City's Tyreek Wright has given his thoughts and reflections

01:18following the Bantams winning 3-0 away at Stoke City to progress in the Carabao Cup.

01:26Yeah it was a great team performance. I thought we came out the blocks very well. Put a lot of

01:32pressure on them and yeah I thought it was all around great performance from the team.

01:37And we've seen that from the start of the season that the team's able to come out the traps really

01:41quickly and put pressure on the opponents. What's that like when you can start on the front

01:44so quickly? Yeah I think it's important to no matter what team we play to put them under pressure

01:49you know we don't fear any team that we play so we're always going to play the game we want to

01:54play and that's put pressure on the opposition and try to force them into mistakes and hopefully

01:59create chances from it. As you say we don't fear any team that we come up against but against the

02:03Champions League opposition in Stoke what's it like when you can come here and know that we're still

02:06going to play the football that we want to play? Yeah you know it's just another day at the

02:09office really it doesn't matter who we're facing whether it's Championship team, Premier League team.
