00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker believes that his side will always have a chance, even when facing the top teams in this season's Premier League.
00:09Yes, obviously we were a bit disappointed after the cup result, but even on the way back to Leeds we were already focused on Newcastle.
00:19We know that we have a tough start of the season in terms of fixtures to play on the first three game days.
00:26Then straight away against two of the sides who have finished in the top four away game at Arsenal in their first home game and then home game against Newcastle.
00:36We know it's a tough start, but yes, you would wish to have this type of fixtures perhaps after a Champions League game for them when they're not so much on it and don't have a proper week also to prepare.
00:48And this time was a bit the other way around, the weird mid-week cup game, but sometimes you can't choose.
00:55And for that we were working so hard in the last 24 months to be allowed to play on this level again and to play against the best sides of the Premier League.
01:05And Bradford City boss Graeme Alexander has revealed the extent of some of the knocks his side have picked up during the previous week of footballing competition.
01:24There's a couple of bums and bruises, a couple of knocks that we're just assessing this morning.
01:31So the boys who played wouldn't have trained anyway, like fully obviously.
01:37So we'll see how they are on Friday.
01:40The lads who were real came in and did a separate session so that at least they're out of their beds and up and moving.
01:49And yeah, but apart from I think two players from the game last night, everyone was out there this morning and by Saturday should be ready to go again.
01:59Matthew Pennington, you mentioned last night had this ankle issue that picked up on Saturday.
02:03Is there a hope that he could be available for Wimbledon?
02:05Yeah, there's hope. Yeah, there's definitely hope. It's just about the swelling coming down and then actually assessing if there's any further sort of injury after that really.
02:14Thank you for joining us.
