Leeds United goalkeeper Robert Green has told BBC Radio Leeds that his side were sedate against Derby County.

Garry Monk’s side returned to action on Saturday afternoon when they took on Derby away from home in the Championship.

The West Yorkshire outfit failed to pick up even a point from the encounter at the iPro Stadium, as Johnny Russell’s goal in the 56th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Green, who joined Leeds in the summer transfer window after leaving Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers at the end of the 2015-16 campaign, started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes.

The 36-year-old former Norwich City and West Ham United goalkeeper is critical of Leeds’s performance against Derby.

“I think it was a bit more, clutching for the words, a bit more sedate, and it was kinda a bit, we were in second gear really, you know, on the ball,” Green told BBC Radio Leeds about Leeds’s performance against Derby.

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 only two were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.
