Eddie Gray has revealed what plus points Leeds United can take from their 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.

The defeat against the Owls all but ended Leeds’ hopes of a top six finish as the Whites dropped down to 14th place in the Championship table with 50 points from 38 games, 12 points adrift of the playoff spots.




But Gray feels all is not doom and gloom for Leeds following their defeat to Sheffield Wednesday as the match saw Tom Pearce making his first team for the club, in addition to Jay-Roy Grot netting his maiden goal for the Elland Road outfit.

“There were a couple of plus points to take from the game”, he said on LUTV.
 


“The young boy making his debut at left-back, he did okay.

“It was a tough debut for him, it was always going to be hard because we’re not playing particularly well.

“And Grot coming on and scoring his first goal for the club – that was a plus.”

Grot, who replaced Pearce in the 77th minute, joined Leeds from Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen on a four-year deal last summer.

The 20-year-old has struggled for game time in his debut season at Elland Road, managing to clock up just 145 minutes over 13 Championship appearances.
