Blackwell: "Fitness isn't an issue for these boys anymore."
Träningsreslutaten börjar synas nu.
Kevin Blackwell, som kom till Leeds förra sommaren, säger att Leeds bara blev bättre och bättre i andra halvlek mot Wolves. Det berodde på spelarnas bra kondition och fysik. I början av säsongen, så brukade vi alltid få ett mål i baken under dom 10 sista minuterna. Men Leeds anställde fitness tränaren Dean Riddle, som jobbade tillsammans med Blackwell när båda var i Sheffield United, under försäsongen och Blackwell tycker nu att man börjar se resultatet av träningen.
"Fitness isn't an issue for these boys anymore," säger Blackwell
Och fortsätter: "It was when Peter (Reid) and I first came to the club and I think that affected us in some of the games in the first half of the season.
"I saw it when Leeds played Sheffield United twice last season. We were the ones finishing the game strongly then and Leeds were out on their feet when they should have been coming at us.
"But that's not the case now. You saw it on Tuesday night when we were doing our best work of the game in the last 20 minutes. That's vital because so many games are won or lost in that last 20 minutes and that spell's going to be critical in a lot of games between now and the end of the season.
"We won't be lacking in it and, crucially, I think the lads believe and have confidence in that as well."
