Garry Monk: 'We will improve during international break'

Leeds United manager Garry Monk vows to use the international break to "drill things" into his players.

Leeds United manager Garry Monk has vowed to use the international break "to drill a few things" into his players after their latest defeat in the league.

The Whites went down 3-1 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday to leave them fourth bottom of the Championship with a return of just four points from a possible 15.

Monk's side now have a fortnight's break before their next fixture - a tough tie against unbeaten leaders Huddersfield Town - but insisted that the next two weeks will be spent productively.

"We needed to be more clinical, we needed to take our chances. We conceded soft goals and Forest did nothing in general play otherwise," Monk told the Yorkshire Post after the defeat at the City Ground.

"If not for the goals we conceded we would have won the game, definitely.

"We have the international break now and some time for us to work on things, to drill a few things into the players. We need to cut out the sloppiness and the individual errors. We have the squad to address this."

Former Swansea City manager Monk took over at Elland Road this summer on a one-year rolling contract.
