Stephen Warnock said he found Darko Milanic's 32 day tenure as Leeds United manager frustrating due to a lack of appearances and said that he believes Neil Redfearn is a good fit as interim manager.

Speaking to the club's official website the former Villa man admitted he was frustrated by being left out, but says he is determined to push forward and not dwell on the past.

"It’s always frustrating. I felt my form was good and you go into games in and out of the team and it’s frustrating." said the 32-year-old.

"You lose a bit of fitness, a little bit of sharpness, you come back in two weeks later and you try and do a job.

"But I’m not going to complain about it because that was the way the manager wanted to do it and he felt that he wanted to rotate things. I just want to play games, I’m not different to anyone else.

"I’m going to get frustrated but I’m not going to spit my dummy out like a lot of people have said I’ve done. I’ve just got to knuckle down and get on with it."

Redfearn is again in charge of the squad as he was prior to Milanic's appointment and Warnock feels he can help Leeds back up the Sky Bet Championship table, "He’s obviously got the respect of the chairman, respect of the players," said Warnock.

"We’ve worked under him quite a few times, the lads who have been here for a longer period at the club.

"I think he’s someone that the lads enjoy working for and hopefully he can get the best out of the team and try and turn things in the right way now.

"Training was good on Monday. The thing is that the lads always put the effort in training, there’s never been that question about it. "I think he just knows that if he tries to keep the lads happy and gets them enjoying their football again, things will go well."

Warnock will now be looking to impress Redfearn and earn a place in the line-up at Cardiff on Saturday.
