Leeds United lost against Derby County in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds United head coach Garry Monk has revealed to The Morley Observer and Advertiser what he told his players at half time on Saturday.
The Whites returned to action on Saturday afternoon when they took on Derby County away from home in the Championship.
The West Yorkshire outfit headed into the match at the iPro Stadium with confidence, but they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat.
Johnny Russell’s goal in the 56th minute proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Leeds head coach Monk believes that his side probably deserved something from the match, and he has also revealed what he told his players at half time.
“I said to the players at half-time that we need to put our game on the pitch a little bit better and we came out and we started to do that and then we conceded a poor goal from our point of view which put us on the back foot,” Monk told The Morley Observer and Advertiser.
“We had a go in the last 25 minutes and had a couple of chances but overall I think we didn’t do enough of the things we have done really well in recent games with the ball to give ourselves the best chance of getting something.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at the iPro Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hosts Derby had 47% of the possession, took nine shots of which three were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Leeds had 53% of the possession, took 13 shots of which just two were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.
Leeds are 13th in the Championship table at the moment with 16 points from 12 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Birmingham City.
