Leed now 4 points behind with a game in hand

After the 1-1 draw with Coventry yesterday, Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell said: "Anyone who watched the game cannot say that we deserved at least a point. Coventry defended stoutly and their keeper made several good saves, but credit to the lads as they kept going. At one point we were 17 points off automatic promotion but now it is only four." 10 days ago, Blackwell has signed a 3 year deal to manage Leeds - so getting to the premiership this year will set him up. His old club Sheffield United (where he was assistant manager before joining Leeds) continued their terrible run yesterday with a 2-1 defeat at Norwich. Since beating Wednesday 4 weeks ago in the Sheffield derby, United have not won a game. Their best result was a home draw against bottom of the table Crewe. On Tuesday next we find out what a game in hand is worth when Leeds play Crystal Palace at home. 3 points from this game will Leeds just one point away from automatic promotion to the premiership. Leeds beat Palace 2-1 away from home just 2 weeks ago so this has to be a great chance to make the game in hand count.
