David Hockaday unhappy with Leeds United defence

Hockaday unhappy with Leeds defence

Leeds United boss David Hockaday has hit out at his defence following Saturday's friendly draw with Chesterfield.

The Championship club were trailing 2-1 at The Proact Stadium before Rodolph Austin's late penalty saved their blushes.

"We know that Chesterfield are a good passing team and they couldn't pass their way through us and score, so they bring on a big lad and start hitting long balls into him," Hockaday told LUTV.

"It should be the easiest type of defending to deal with. If you cannot defend 50-60 yards balls then you have a problem and on the day, we couldn't handle it."

Leeds continue their pre-season campaign on Tuesday when they make the trip to Swindon Town.
