Leeds United youngster Kalvin Phillips has revealed that conceding a late goal against Wolves on Monday was a big blow for the Whites.
The Peacocks came back from being 3-1 down to level things up at 3-3. However, a late winner from Dave Edwards dashed the side's hope as they eventually lost the match 4-3.
The youngster, who made his senior debut in the match, revealed that they were gutted after having gone down at the stroke of half-time.
However, manager Neil Redfearn's half-time team talk did wonders, according to Phillips, as they went on to fight until the very end.
"I think we started playing better football when we went 3-1 down", Phillips told his club's official website.

"Heads went down, but Redders told us at half-time ‘Don’t let your heads go down because there’s always a chance to get back into it'
"We got back into it, it was just gutting to concede right at the end."
The youngster also took time to speak about the pace of the Championship, revealing that he was cramping up during the last 20 minutes. However, Phillips also thought that he did well in terms of the physical aspect, playing in his very first match in the Championship.
"It’s a lot different. I was cramping up in the last 20 minutes.
"The tempo is a lot quicker and better than it is in the Under-21s. I thought I did quite well with the physical side."
