On the avails of a 1-0 victory over Cheltenham, Leeds climbs to second-place in League One. Once again the deciding factor was Luciano Becchio who scored seven minutes into the match as he headed a Frazer Richardson cross to the back of the net.
Whilst the three points were certainly welcomed, where promotion is the only option, Gary McAllister will need to address poor finishing and once-again a slowing attack. Every match must be three-points and slips-ups can no longer occur.
Leeds return to action in the FA Cup this Friday against Northampton.
