Roberts then noted that Leeds supporters were fantastic during the defeat to Sheffield United and thanked them for being so.

“Fans were something special again today. Thank you!”

OPINION

Leeds fans were loud and inspirational from the first whistle against Sheffield United but sadly their side suffered a disappointing loss. While many supporters’ heads would have dropped due to the result as it gives Sheffield United a boost in the race for automatic promotion, as Roberts said it’s not over yet. There are plenty of points still to play for and everyone knows that anyone can beat anyone in the Championship, so Leeds can finish above Chris Wilder’s side if they churn out results in the games that remain. As for Roberts’ display on Saturday, he was arguably one of the Whites best players. The attacker hit the post in the second-half of the match and was a constant threat through the game. Roberts was regularly seen trying to force a breakthrough by running at the Blades, but as he pointed out, it just wasn’t his side’s day. If the Leeds attacker continues to perform like he did on Saturday but has a little bit more luck on his side, then Marcelo Bielsa’s team will soon get back to winning ways.
