Leeds United caretaker manager Neil Redfearn has praised new boss Neil Warnock after he gave the half-time team talk during his side's 3-2 comeback win over Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.

Warnock watched from the stands after being appointed earlier in the day, but visited the Leeds dressing room at half time to give them some advice.

The Whites went on to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win, prompting Redfearn to praise the former QPR manager's impact.

"Neil had a big impact. He came in at half time and made a few points. It was sensible advice in the situation we were in," said the stand-in manager.

"He said they should be a bit more positive, with more energy, and play higher up the pitch. There was no ranting and raving.

"Our second-half performance was more like it. We got about them and the crowd responded."

Redfearn is expected to resume his position in the academy when Warnock takes full control.
