Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has admitted to using rugby studs when playing on Elland Road's new pitch.
The Whites spent £300,000 to fix the pitch after players were seen slipping throughout the game with Brighton on January 16.
But after beating Crystal Palace at home on Monday, Bamford was less than impressed with the upgrade.
"It is important to turn your home ground into a fortress, but it is difficult with our pitch at the minute," Bamford told Sky Sports. "We almost suit playing away better."
Asked if the new pitch is helping, Bamford paused and smiled, and then replied: "It is better.
"It is hard to stand up, that's all I will say. I am still wearing studs, but I had to put rugby studs in at half-time."
