Leeds boss Jesse Marsch praised his players after their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.
Marsch was happy with their fighting spirit on the day after Luis Sinisterra had been sent off.
He said, "I saw a team that was fighting like lions and doing everything they could to battle through and hold the clean sheet. Going down a man obviously makes it hard and maybe we could have pushed the game more if we stay even but the point shows the character of the group again.
"We need to be braver. We played a little too conservative, we had moments in the last third where we can show more poise and quality and we will continue to work on that.
"After the time off the group wanted the result so bad that we were a little nervy. Villa slowed the game down and that's two or three opponents we have had here that want to throw the ball away or take a minute on a goal kick so we need help with that.
"This is the best league in the world and our fans don't come here to watch a match at snails pace."
