Disappointed manager Simon Grayson has swiftly switched the focus to Leeds United's remaining eight games of the season, following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

With closest rivals Nottingham Forest and Burnley both failing to win, and only Swansea City, in the Play-Off places, collecting maximum points, the Bramall Lane reverse didn't leave any real damage in terms of United's league placing.

"We didn't get carried away when we won the games against Doncaster and Preston and we can't dwell on Saturday either," said the boss. "It was an opportunity, though, and it was an opportunity we didn't take.

"We have two weeks now to get it right before we play Forest at Elland Road. We've have eight games left and it's all to play for.

"The results again on Saturday, including ours, typify the division and that anyone can beat anyone on their day.

"Sheffield United have good players, they beat Forest a few weeks ago and they are in a relegation scrap."

That said, the United boss said he was "hugely disappointed and frustrated" with his side's performance at Bramall Lane.

"We got what we deserved," he said. "Nothing. Right from the first tackle in the game we never got going. We knew it would be a horrible pitch and that they would fight and scrap, and we never dealt with anything. Even when we had the ball we didn't use it well enough.

"We knew how they would play, but we didn't compete and make anything happen. They knew it wouldn't be free-flowing and we would have to battle and compete. Too many played as individuals not as a team.

"It was lost all over the pitch, our players didn't compete with theirs. You have to win the battle and earn the right, but we didn't do that.

"We had one decent passage of play when Max had a chance early on. That's all. We didn't create anything after that."
