Leeds caretaker boss berates players for last minute loss

Leeds United caretaker boss Neil Redfearn was unimpressed as his Championship team slipped to a 2-1 injury-time defeat to Brighton.

This was the Yorkshire team’s sixth home defeat of the season.

"Conceding two so late on is a trait that has run through this season and you can understand why it's been a problem," he said.

"Clean sheets win football matches, as daft as it sounds. What they (the players) don't realise is, this is a fantastic club and a fantastic way to earn a living. I need to instil that in them. The problems that have been there in the past are there to see.

"It's a lack of professionalism and that's something that has run through for a while."

Redfearn knows he has Tuesday's trip to Coventry and next Saturday's home meeting with Doncaster to come, and is confident that Saturday's defeat will not have harmed his own chances too much.

"My position doesn't change," he added.

"If I looked at it as though I had to win every game I'd never get up in a morning. I'm doing my best for the club. There are problems there and that's why I am sat here. If I can help in any way, then great."
