Max Gradel celebrates his second goal of the night

United manager Simon Grayson wasted little time in switching attentions towards Saturday's trip to promotion rivals Swansea City after watching his side held 3-3 at home by Barnsley on Tuesday.

Swansea were 1-0 winners against Coventry on Tuesday and became the latest side to take over second place as the race for promotion hots up.

Grayson admits he was frustrated by his own side performance in a game that Leeds led twice, but ended up taking a point from.

"It's frustrating," said the boss. "It was a great opportunity to get three points against a team who are dogged and hard working, and it was a game we should we have won.

"We started poorly, conceded an early goal, then got back in it. We scored a another great goal through Max, then we made another mistake with their equaliser near the end.

"The wall is there for a reason at a free-kick and one or two turned their backs on it. If he puts it over the top I have no problem with that because it is good quality, but he puts it straight through the wall and into the middle of the net, and it's 3-3 and two points dropped."

United's attacking display was again clinical, Max Gradel rounded off the scoring with another stunning effort, but it will be a more steely Leeds side which heads for South Wales at the weekend.

"We don't want to be scoring three or four goals to win games," added the boss. "Barnsley, even playing against 10 men, never cut us open or played through us. They were goals we could eradicate. It's people staying with runners and not turning their backs in the wall. They could have been stopped.

"But it's one of those things. We'll start preparations for the weekend. We've got 13 games to go to make sure we get in the top six. Swansea are our promotion rivals and it's a game we're looking forward to and will be ready for."
