Grayson warns Leeds players

Leeds United boss Simon Grayson has threatened to bring in fresh faces during the January transfer window if his current players continue to underperform.

Leeds looked decided flat and devoid of ideas during Saturday’s 1-0 defeat by Reading, straight on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Watford.

Grayson knows his side, currently sixth in the Championship table, must improve if they want to keep their promotion hopes alive.

“Everyone wants to get promoted and you have to do something about it.

“You can’t just expect to turn up, get your wage and say ‘if we win today then happy days. If we don’t then I am not bothered’.

“You have got to earn your money and that is what this club, the supporters, the chairman and myself demand from the players every week.

“If they don’t want to do that then other players will have to come in.

“Too many of our players have been below par over the last couple of games. We are still in a good position with half the season to go but as individuals, we have to raise the bar.”
