Leeds United winger Jack Harrison says new manager Sam Allardyce has spoken about their self-confidence since taking charge.

Allardyce has now had two days with his new squad.

"It was about confidence. It was clear to him we weren't playing with confidence," Harrison said. "That was the first thing he wanted to address, and the other thing is tactically being organised, defending, and not conceding as many goals.

"Those were the first two things he said and we stripped everything back to basics. He has a great reputation of keeping teams in the Premier League. We're all going to buy into it and give it everything we've got.

"His natural charisma and characteristics, and of his staff, brings a lot of energy into the training sessions and even in the building. It's given a little bit of lift to the team and even just having that presence has given us a bit of confidence.

"We have a great squad, a lot of talented players on the team. I don't believe we should be in the situation we've been in. There have been times throughout the season when we haven't got the results we deserved or we should have got through small mistakes here and there. It's happened a lot.

"We definitely have the capabilities of being a team in the Premier League, it's just believing in ourselves to do that. The squad believes that absolutely and believe we can stay up."
