Togetherness, the stomach for a fight and the footballing 'basics' are the tenants behind Sam Allardyce's instructions that are being lapped by the Leeds United dressing room.
The former England boss was unable to pull off a shock at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon as his side were seen off by Pep Guardiola's treble-chasing Manchester City, but a 2-1 defeat in which the Whites caused a late scare when Rodrigo netted seconds after a missed Ilkay Gundogan penalty marked a significant improvement on some of the club's recent scorelines.
The clock is ticking, with just three games remaining for Leeds, but defender Max Wober insists Allardyce's methods are 'exactly' what the club needs right now.
