Leeds United manager Peter Reid was quick to praise his players after they battled to an impressive 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at Elland Road on Sunday.
Leeds have endured a miserable pre-season but produced an energetic display that almost secured all three points against the Magpies, who needed a late Alan Shearer strike to salvage a point.
"I thought my team were great," said Reid.
"The players gave me everything they had. I cannot fault any of them.
"They have now set themselves standards for the rest of the season because they have got to do this week in and week out.
"I have to admit I was worried until yesterday - then there was a real spark in training which I hadn't sensed before.
"That gave me a lot of confidence and they took it into the game.
"The players came up with the goods, but now they have to do it every week."
