People think they don't care," Cowley told BBC Radio Leeds. They do care, they care a lot, they were nervous before the game, you could sense that.

Danny Murphy: I heave heard people say how it should not impact on two seasons, but I don't agree with that. You have to prioritise what is most important and, here, it is our professional leagues.
