Darko Milanic is satisfied with Leeds United recording a 0-0 draw at home against Reading this evening, believing it was all his side deserved after failing to do enough in attack.

The Slovenian led the Whites in front of a 20,000 crowd at Elland Road in his first home match in charge of the club.



Milanic had seen his side slip to a 2-0 defeat away at Brentford at the weekend and another defeat was a fate they would avoid as both Leeds and Reading largely cancelled each other out.

Each side enjoyed a roughly equal share of possession, while there were few shots on target from both teams.

 


Milanic feels his side put in the hard yards, but ultimately lacked a cutting edge in attack.

"I think one point is okay and I have to say to our players they make a dirty job, a lot of dirty jobs. Where we can do better and where we must do better is in the last third.

"We had some possibilities to go directly to the goal but we did not do good enough.

"We had a lot of possibilities to be dangerous, but we didn't play good in the last third."
