Leeds defender admitted he has been below par.

Pontus Jansson of Leeds United celebrates after the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road on February 25, 2017 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson gave an honest appraisal of his percent performances last night, sending a message to fans on Instagram.

The Swedish international centre-back branded his own displays as ‘s***’, before expressing his desire to put it right.

He wrote: “Last few weeks has been tough, things hasn’t gone in that way we all wanted and I personally have been s***. But we all want the same thing now, going back and win games and the only way to go is hard work, 100%! Stay together everyone and we will for sure come back!”

Leeds have lost their last three matches, and four of the last five.

Despite this terrible run of form, the Whites remain in sixth place in the Championship table and are well placed to mount a promotion push.

Jansson will have to get back to his best to help the team out, but he is not the only player who has been below par.

Leeds fans have reacted positively to Jansson’s critical self assessment, and hope it can spark a turning point for the team.

The club’s next game is a tricky away tie to Bristol City, who they have failed to beat in their last two matches at Ashton Gate.

Here is a look at how fans responded to Jansson’s message on Instagram:
