United goalscorer Robert Snodgrass says the disappointment felt in the Leeds dressing room after the Boxing Day draw at Leicester is a sign of the progress being made by Simon Grayson's men.

Having lost to Leicester twice already this season, United appeared to be on course for a first ever win at the Walkers Stadium, following goals from Max Gradel and Snodgrass. But the hosts hit back twice in the final 20 minutes to take a share of the points.

"It was disappointing," said Rob.

"The manager said after that we'd have taken a point but it shows how well we have been playing and how well we played. I thought we passed them off the park and really outplayed them at times.

"It's disappointing that we weren't putting more pressure on the leaders in the division. When you see how well we have done it shows the character we have and we don't want to accept second best.

"People say you want to keep the unbeaten run going and we did that, but it was still very disappointing. We still have the unbeaten mentality. We know a defeat will come, but we have to give it our best. Our fans were first class again."

Snoddy's disappointment tinged what was one of the goals of the season from the Scot. After receiving his own corner delivery back at the tighest angles he scored with an unbelievable strike to make it 2-0 in the game. 

"It was good to get on the scoresheet, but I'm still disappointed," he said. 

"Some of the boys felt there was a foul on me in the build up to their penalty. It was a bad decision. We'd had a good penalty shout turned down as well for handball."

United now face a quick turnaround with an Elland Road clash against Portsmouth on Tuesday.

"If anybody feels hard done by Tuesday is a good chance to put that right," added the Scot. 

"They're a good team. They started a bit shaky, but  they have given teams a game. They have some good players, but we have great strength in depth in this squad."
