Leeds United head coach Garry Monk insists he is not concerned about his side despite a second successive loss.

The Whites were beaten 2-0 by Brentford, their second successive defeat.

It is particularly concerning that Leeds have not scored in either of their last two games, and Monk was asked after the game if the team are too predictable.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, he said: “Not really. We created chances, and they were good chances we should have taken.”

Monk added that he is not going to dwell on the loss: “We never like losing games, there are always things to tweak. No excuses, we dust ourselves down and get ready for next games.”

Leeds remain in fifth position despite the loss, but fourth placed Huddersfield are two points ahead with two games in hand.

Monk’s side have a five point gap over seventh placed Fulham, who lost last night against Derby County 4-2.

Leeds were criticised by Reading striker Yann Kermorgant last week who called them one dimensional and reliant upon Chris Wood.

Wood has started both of the last two games and failed to score, with nobody else stepping up. Monk says he is not concerned, but if they draw a blank against Preston this weekend at Elland Road, he might have to be.
