Saturday's defeat at Norwich was Leeds' third in a row

Leeds manager Simon Grayson remains optimistic about his side's promotion chances, despite a narrow defeat by League One leaders Norwich on Saturday.

Only goal difference keeps Leeds above third-placed Millwall but Grayson felt his team were unlucky to lose 1-0.

"If we carry on like that, we'll get more positive results than negative ones," Grayson said.

"If we play like that from now till the end of the season, then we'll get to where we want to be."

He added: "At half-time, there was a determination within the group to say we could go and win this.

"From start to finish, we dominated the game, we dictated the possession of the ball, we looked a good team, worked hard, passed the ball around, and I thought we were the only team that was going to win it.

"But football has a funny way of kicking you where it hurts at times."
