COMMENTARY

When you are fighting it out at the top of the Championship you cannot afford to waste what few opportunities might come your way, which is exactly why Leeds United fans have gone ballistic over senior attacker Tyler Roberts. Considering the former West Brom man was brought to Elland Road as a striker, his finishing against Brentford on Monday afternoon was nothing short of appalling, missing a handful of clear cut opportunities to stick the ball in the back of the net. Yes, some people might point to his lack of experience but that does not take away from the fact his is playing for a second tier side chasing promotion and if he is not good enough to perform at the level expected of him, then he should not be in the starting XI. This was a particularly poor performance from a man who has been a regular under Marcelo Bielsa but there have been questions over his finishing ability all season. This might well have been the match which cemented the opinions of his critics, not to mention resulted in a few more doubters coming his way.
