Derby defeat 'hurts' McAllister

Gary McAllister
McAllister's side have dropped to sixth in the League One table

Leeds United manager Gary McAllister has said his side deserved a draw from Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Huddersfield.

Leeds lost to an injury-time winner from Michael Collins at Elland Road - Town's first win there for 25 years.

McAllister told BBC Radio Leeds: "We're disappointed to have lost the game - the facts are we deserved a draw.

"We got done with two sucker punches - their equaliser we concede without touching the ball and then we get done in the last kick of the game."

"In between we've done our pressing but Huddersfield have come and done a job, and it hurts.

"When [Danny] Cadamarteri gets the ball wide and gets the better of Paul Telfer, we've got four defenders versus one in the box so we shouldn't concede."

It was the second game in a row that Leeds had lost after dominating for long periods, and McAllister found little comfort in the statistics.

"It's not consoling at all - it means absolutely nothing when the result goes the way it has," he said.

"We don't want people coming here and celebrating in the dressing room opposite us - it's not nice."
