00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farka has confirmed that Carl Darlow will start in goal for the
00:06Whites on Saturday against Luton, with Elan Mellier dropping to the bench.
00:10Yes, I think I'm a big believer to have always clarity on the goalkeeper position and for
00:17that we've taken and I've taken already my decision and spoke to the goalkeeper so Carl
00:22Darlow will play on Saturday if nothing happens and Elan will be on the bench so we'll change
00:28on this position. That's what I can confirm and Carl is aware and Elan is aware and for me it's
00:34also important that we have clarity relatively early during this week that yeah also Carl for
00:38him the first time that he's involved in league games since since a while that he can concentrate
00:43on this topic and this definitely the decision for the weekend. Well I work together not with
00:48Roberts I work together with with human beings and of course for Carl it's a decision where he's
00:56of course buzzing it's a bit easier but for Elan then of course a bit more difficult decision to
01:01take. It's always a bit a bit difficult yeah especially we all know that yes Elan has a bit
01:10difficult season so far. And finally Bradford City manager Graeme Alexander has made clear
01:16that his side have created excitement amongst Bradford supporters this season.
01:21Like I said to lads the previous week it's because of what you've done you know I mean
01:26there wouldn't be 22,000, 21,000, 22,000 in FIFA all that sort of thing if we're mid-table
01:32not stinking the place out or whatever it's because the excitement that this team
01:36has created over a long amount of time this season and at the end of last season I think
01:42the last the end of last season was a springboard to give us all confidence and optimism going into
01:48the summer and next season and we've maintained that we've had difficult spells without a shadow
01:53of a doubt which every team does have but I believe we're at an elite table doesn't lie
01:59at this stage we are where we deserve to be but there's six more games at least for us to go and
02:06cement the position we're in if we can so the crowd have been amazing.
