Leeds United won against Bristol City at Elland Road in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
Leeds United head coach Garry Monk has admitted to BBC Sport that doubts crept in following their recent back-to-back defeats in the Championship.
The West Yorkshire outfit won their first game in February 2-1 against Blackburn Rovers away from home at Ewood Park, but they then went down 2-1 at Huddersfield Town and 2-0 to Cardiff City at Elland Road.
The Whites did return to winning ways on Tuesday evening, getting the better of Bristol City 2-1 at home in the league.
Leeds head coach Monk has admitted that a little bit of doubt crept into his young players after the defeats to Huddersfield and Cardiff.
“We have a strong mentality and two defeats in a row – maybe a little bit of doubt creeps in with young players,” Monk told BBC Sport.
“But the key is to get the right result, and try and build that momentum. We played with probably more pressure than we have all season and got the deserved result.”
Leeds have shown time and time again this season that they can bounce back, and they did something similar against City at Elland Road on Tuesday evening.
The Championship is a very competitive and tricky domestic league, and defeats against Huddersfield and Cardiff were not entirely surprising.
What the Whites now need to do is build momentum and consolidate their place in the top six.
