Many Leeds United supporters have been reacting to a Twitter post from The Athletic’s Phil Hay in which he described the team’s failure to take all three points at Cardiff City on Sunday as ‘an open goal missed.’ 

Hay shared the link to a piece he wrote titled: Promotion clearly not ‘a formality’ for Leeds – even if they remain unscathed. Having seen the Whites suffer a defeat in their first game back, he highlighted that despite the internal belief that the team’s fitness upon the return would be superior to that of their rivals, that didn’t come through in their performance.

Nice easy one to start. Who is this current Leeds man?

Adam Forshaw was one of a number of players speaking up about how ready the Whites were to pick up where they left off (as per The Athletic). Hay insisted, however, that the midfielder wouldn’t have done so if he didn’t genuinely believe they were. Here is how a sample of the Elland Road faithful have responded to the post on Twitter.

Are you confident going into the clash with Fulham this weekend?

Yes

Yes

No

No

It’s clear from the above responses that not all of these supporters were impressed by the player’s comments and the frustration in the result came through in their replies. Fortunately for the Whites, Fulham also slipped up, suffering a home defeat courtesy of Brentford and therefore Marcelo Bielsa’s side maintained their seven-point cushion over those in the playoff positions. Fans continued to react to the post.

Leeds take on Fulham this coming weekend at Elland Road and although there are still eight rounds of fixtures to play, we believe, that a victory over Scott Parker’s men would be a big step towards sealing automatic promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2004.
