Leeds United's response to 'pressure' talk as Javi Gracia answers points total needed question

Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia says there has been no sense of any pressure easing at the club despite a rise in the league ladder. The premier League table looks much healthier from a Leeds perspective after taking seven points from the last 12 on offer.

Tuesday night's win over Nottingham Forest has lifted the mood of supporters, but there has been no sign of any change in focus or desire at the Leeds training ground insists Gracia. The Whites boss knows his side are still in a precarious position, albeit with an opportunity to start to build a gap on the basement strugglers with a further victory over Crystal Palace this Sunday.

Ahead of the game, the Leeds boss was asked if anything had changed following the win over Forest this week.

"For me nothing changes. We need more points and we will try to play with the same desire and the same energy," said Gracia.

And asked what points total it may take to stay up, he added: "I don't know. If you look over the seasons you see different points. I am not concerned about that, I am just concerned about the points in the next game."

Leeds currently sit on 29 points, with three more wins from their remaining nine games surely enough to keep their place in the Premier League.
