Viduka: We Can Build On Start

Last updated : 10 September 2003 By Kevin Markey

Peter Reid has brought in eight new players, with Jody Morris, Zoumana Camara, Lamine Sakho and Jermaine Pennant all impressing since the start of the season.

Viduka believes the Leeds faithful have something to cheer about again.

He said: "I think things are looking up here.

"The new boys have come in and done excellently. The new signings are good enough to fill anyone's shoes and they're proving that by the way they are playing.

"The way they have fitted in has been a massive encouragement. All of them have come in hungry to prove themselves and hungry to do well in the Premiership.

"Jermaine Pennant has been absolutely outstanding on the right-hand side during the last couple of games and that makes my job easier as well.

"Smithy and I need that kind of service and we're also getting it down the left now from Lamine.

"Zoumana Camara has helped to make us tight at the back and that's very, very important. That let us down last year, we would concede too many goals far too easily.

"We are unlucky not to have more points than we have. Everybody thought we were going to struggle at the start of the season but we have done well so far and I'm sure we can build on that."
