LUFC Gradel still eyeing automatic spot

Leeds United two goal hero Max Gradel is still looking at the automatic promotion places after helping his side to a 4-1 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Nottingham Forest.

Gradel helped seal Leeds win with the third and fourth goals of a tough encounter at Elland Road that saw Forest reduced to ten men in the first half after Chris Cohen was shown a straight red card.

Speaking after the game on BBC1 Match of the Day live, Gradel said, "It`s a big win, we have just got to keep going until the end of the season and we will be looking to get promoted automatically."

The midfielder capped off a fine week after joining up with the Ivory Coast national squad for the second time this season.

His two goals moved him onto 16 goals this season in the Championship, just one behind Leeds leading goalscorer Luciano Becchio who notched his 17th Championship goal of the season in the same game.

Norwich, who are currently in second place remain six points clear of Leeds in fifth after putting six past Scunthorpe United.

Gradel is so infuriating at times, brilliant one minute, wasteful and over playing it the next. He's a typical winger and I think you have to take that side of his game. For me he's been the biggest plus point this season, 16 goals from the left wing is a fantastic return.

Bound to be some twists in the final month but I just can't see us winning enough to guarantee automatic. More concerned with us guaranteeing the play offs to start with.
