Liam Cooper was quick to recognise Leeds United's fantastic support at the Etihad Stadium yesterday. The away end was in fine voice for Sam Allardyce's first game in charge.
Although it ended in defeat, with the damage done earlier in the game, the supporters headed home with optimism following Rodrigo's late strike, which set up a nervous finish for the champions.
Big Sam, who has succeeded Javi Gracia in the Elland Road dugout, has three matches remaining to save Leeds' Premier League status and he will need every one of those supporters in the away end yesterday when Newcastle visit on Saturday.
