Leeds United chairman Ken Bates believes the Whites have been "absolutely fantastic" in maintaining their promotion challenge this season.Gary McAllister's side require three points from their last two games - at Yeovil and at home to Gillingham - to guarantee a League One play-off place.

Bates told Yorkshire Radio: "I think they've been absolutely fantastic. If we hadn't had the blip at the changeover of manager we'd have been looking at automatic promotion.

"We had a good result on Saturday (at Millwall) in front of what was a hostile crowd from what I gather.

"It's in our hands now. Hopefully we will get three points against Yeovil and if not, against Gillingham in our last game."
