Leeds United interim manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that the squad are "desperate to do better" after he held his first training session as head coach.
Allardyce has a handful of days to prepare Leeds for a trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on reigning champions Manchester City this Saturday afternoon. After a dismal run of results in April that saw the Whites concede 23 goals in 7 games, there could not be a harder start for the 68-year-old.
Games against Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham complete the run-in for Leeds and given the recent poor form that saw Javi Gracia sacked, Allardyce had expected to walk into a far more downbeat dressing room than the one he was met with on Wednesday.
