The Leeds United boss must be delighted with his side’s never-say-die attitude.
The Whites earned a valuable three points last night with their 2-1 win at Blackburn Rovers, and Garry Monk spoke to the media in the aftermath of the game, sharing the message he gave to his team after their last minute victory, as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Leeds closed the gap on second placed Newcastle United to just five points with last night’s win, whilst increasing their lead over seventh placed Sheffield Wednesday, and automatic promotion to the Premier League now seems like a genuine possibility for the West Yorkshire outfit.
Leeds’ manager Garry Monk
Monk spoke to the media during his post-match press conference, and shared the message he gave to his side following their win, as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post:
“I said to the players afterwards, I said: ‘Look, there’ll be situations you’ll face throughout the season and there’s six or seven games you can’t play at your best, but you have to make sure you find a way to win’. And I think the mentality we have was very clear.”

After Leeds’ underwhelming start to their Championship campaign, Monk deserves huge amounts of credit for how he has managed to guide this side into such a strong position in the league table.
