Two goals from Leeds midfielder Seth Johnson saw Rovers to defeat against Leeds and the defending came in for more criticism from the Rovers boss.

"We were disappointing, especially in the early part of the game.

"We knew Leeds would start aggressively and they did just that.

"We didn't play well in the opening period, they could have scored with their first attack, and prior and after their first goal we were rocking.

"Like many other games this season, we gifted goals and have had to fight our way back into the game.

"But we scored with five minutes left and that was too short a time.

"We need a clean sheet right now, last season Brad (Friedel) was a rock at the back, we kept a record number of clean sheets, but we can't buy one right now."
