The result will intensify pressure on the Leeds manager, whose team have dropped out of the League One promotion positions following an indifferent run of results.

But during a post-match press conference which he curtailed in under three minutes, as he struggled to comprehend one of the most embarrassing results in the club's history, McAllister said he was still the right man for the manager's job.

"I think that I've taken this club and started to push it in the right direction," said McAllister. "It's not my decision, but I feel as if I'm the guy who can get this club into the Championship."
