Neil Warnock "proud" of Leeds United team

Leeds United boss Neil Warnock has declared himself proud of his side's performance in their 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

Goals from Luciano Becchio and Dominic Poleon prevented a third defeat in a row for Leeds with potential investors watching on.

Warnock believes that no single player stood head and shoulders above the rest for his side, but was delighted at the overall team performance.

"We had no man of the match because it was a fabulous team performance," Warnock said. "Every one of them worked their socks off.

"I was proud of them, especially when you consider that Forest had players worth about four or five million quid on the bench. It was an exciting game and you just couldn't take your eyes away from it for a second.

"We've played some tough games so far and done well with the thin squad we've got."

Meanwhile, club owner Ken Bates revealed earlier today that discussions regarding a takeover bid are "well advanced".
