New Leeds assistant coach Keane: We're happy with squad spirit

New Leeds assistant coach Robbie Keane is happy with the spirit inside the squad.

Keane returned to Leeds alongside manager Sam Allardyce last week.

After defeat at Manchester City, Keane told LUTV: “Pleased with the spirit.

“We have watched games and when they concede goals they concede again not long afterwards, I think that was the pleasing factor.

“At this stage you're just trying to win as many games as possible. This probably wasn't going to be the game, the games that will decide that will be the next three.

“Towards the end of the game you could see the positives, the fans were outstanding for the whole game, the way they were celebrating with the players, they've seen the effort they were putting in and now we need to continue that this week.

“It's been a crazy few days. In the build-up just getting to know the personalities but it's been a really good, positive few days. Of course we wish the outcome today was a bit more but were focused now for next week and that will start on Monday morning."
