Leeds United boss Dennis Wise has demanded an improvement from striker David Healy as the Elland Road club look to kick-start their disastrous season.

Healy has netted just six times for the Whites this term and, after failing to reproduce his international form for Northern Ireland at club level, has been linked with a exit in the new year.

However, Wise is keen to see the 26-year-old rediscover his golden touch in front of goal with the ailing West Yorkshire club currently labouring in the Championship relegation zone.

"David's form isn't fantastic at the moment. He is trying but it just isn't happening for him and he needs to work harder," said Wise.

"You have to keep going and work as hard as possible to make it change. We want to help him because he is not going through a good spell.

"Sometimes you need a miss-hit shot to go in and he needs that to set him off scoring again, but it won't happen if you don't work. You bring your own luck in football."
