00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has hinted at frustration at the club not being able to bring in another forward at the end of the transfer window.
00:11First of all, I'm already focused on the next game, so thank God deadline day is already a few days gone.
00:19Yes, it's also fair to say that after the say we have not danced on the table.
00:24I think that's fair to say. I don't want to talk any nonsense.
00:27Look, I've got a few principles how I work and this is crucial for me.
00:35So one principle is I like openness and transparency.
00:42I like to name it how I see it and also to speak in general what is necessary also to do as a club
00:50because we have such a big group of supporters and so many people who are connected also with Leeds United.
01:00And my principle as a manager is I don't want to navigate around some cliffs anyhow.
01:06I like to name it how it is and I'm always open and transparent of what we have to do and what we want to do.
01:12And Bradford City boss Graeme Alexander has previewed his side's Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield Town to come next.
01:22Not particularly. I think we have to be aware of the challenge of the quality of the team that's coming to Valley Parade.
01:30But we've been playing lots of big games, certainly at Valley Parade over a good amount of time,
01:36certainly in front of big crowds, big atmospheres, big pressure games, you know, the last game of the season, for instance.
01:42And at the start of this season, playing against big clubs with high expectation, I think the players have handled themselves really well.
01:50So for me, I think the only thing we've got to continue to be is us, the best version of us.
01:57That was my only disappointment from last week. We weren't the best version of us by a long shot in the first half.
02:04By then the game would become a different scenario, a different challenge.
02:08But I like to keep the game quite simple for the players, as you just concentrate on the basics.
