“I’m gutted really,” he told Palace TV after the goalless draw. “I felt like we deserved the three points. It was a bit of a crazy game – a bit like a basketball game to be honest.
“That can happen against Leeds, they are that type of team. We had chances to win the game. I had a few chances, and I was disappointed I didn’t score.
“In the end we are disappointed, but the gaffer has said that he’s happy with the performance. It was a good performance, but we want to be winning games like that.”
In what was at times a bruising encounter for both sides, Gallagher says the defensive performance was something Palace can build on.
“It was physical – like I say it was like a basketball match, running up and down the pitch,” he said. “One of them where we’re just a bit disappointed we didn’t come away with the win.”
“I feel like that’s why I had a few chances in this game, because of that. I’m disappointed I couldn’t put one of them away. Another day I hit a cleaner strike and it goes in. It wasn’t meant to be today.
“We were defensively pretty good – they didn’t have many chances I can think of at all. That’s a positive. Credit for us defensively to keep the clean sheet. They didn’t really have any chances.
“There’s definitely confidence to take from it and to build on for the next game.”
