Quality Leeds Team - Wilson

Last updated : 28 December 2007 By Kevin Markey
The County Durham side produced one of the best away performances seen at Elland Road this season in September but lost 2-0 and a series of late goals have kept the Whites' promotion push through December.

Wilson said: "It's not the first time they've done it, but it must be great belief that they have. They don't think they're going to lose any game.

"We defended for our lives as the game went on but we had one lapse in concentration. When you give it to a team with the calibre of strikers that they've got, there's a chance that they finish it. It was a terrific finish, I have to say.

"We raised our game fantastically well, and we had to. You can't go into this type of match and not raise your game, otherwise you'll get pummelled.

"But that's what Leeds have to face every week, in fairness to them. Teams will pull out all the stops, and they've kept their run going.

"I thought we were worthy of getting three points, but the bench that Leeds have is very strong, and the calibre of the players coming on meant they did have an effect on the game.

"Teams that are on a good run tend to have the ball rolling for them, and we're not on a good run. But, overall, it was a good performance from us against a quality Leeds team."
