A point leaves Leeds still in the playoffs, these are the kind of results they need to grind out now, there's 12 games left to play and theyre in a good position for the playoffs, or better still the second place spot.

Leeds United manager Simon Grayson felt his side could have got more from Monday's 1-1 draw at Oldham but was happy with the point.

The result moved Leeds up to fifth in League One with 12 matches remaining.

Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds: "We had the better chances but it was a scrappy game on a difficult surface.

Leeds fell behind to Lee Hughes' goal early in the second half but responded straight away with an equaliser from Luciano Becchio - his first goal of 2009.

Quote

If we'd shown a bit more quality in the final third with the right decision-making or the right pass then we might have won the game. But I'm delighted to have got another point especially at one of our rivals, and to have picked up four points over the weekend against two of our rivals is pleasing.
