The Portsmouth manager admits Leeds still have the quality to escape relegation.
The former West Ham manager, still hopeful his Pompey side will stay up, said: "It could even be an all-time low total that keeps somebody up this season. Who knows?
"I've still got great faith in my boys. They have worked their socks off and on our day we can give anybody in this division a game. But I think Leeds are capable of putting a run together now. They have still got some really good players and you have to think to yourself that they can do it."
