Leeds United have conceded from set pieces in their last two outings.
Garry Monk has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that his Leeds United side will be working on defending set pieces in training.
Monk admits that Leeds have had difficulties defending against dead ball situations all season.
And, after the Whites conceded from a last minute corner against Wigan Athletic in their last outing, the 37-year-old boss says that he intends to go to work to rectify the problem on the training ground.
“Earlier in the season we were suffering from the first phase of set-pieces,” Monk said. “We’ve corrected that so we’re not happy at all because that’s two games now where the second phase has hurt us.
“It’s something we have to go back and work on. We don’t accept it and the players don’t accept it either. Right at the end, with three points in your hands, a set-piece like that is where you have to be most switched on and most aggressive, the most concentrated. We weren’t.”
Leeds’ draw with Wigan has ended a run of four straight victories at Elland Road, and caused a great deal of frustration.
Leeds have played reasonably well in their last two matches – against Derby County and Wigan – but have only collected one point.
The Whites have, therefore, slipped down to 14th place in the Championship table and they will be eager to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
Leeds’ next match comes against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, and if they are able to pick up a victory they could move all the way up to seventh.
