Mmmm, I thought the cheer went up when Geldhardt took his tracksuit off (it
did around me) however I agree it can't have been very nice for Roberts to hear
who I thought had a decent first half.

Agree, appreciate a balanced report.
I also agree that Roberts hasn't stepped up, but he doesn't force Bielsa to
play him and until Bamford is back or Geldhart is 100% match fit and ready to
start ahead of him, he does his best, the abuse he gets on Leeds SM is awful,
cheers went up when he got injured.

Good report Dave - bang on.
I do feel for Roberts, his all round play and effort yesterday was really good,
but his finishing was woeful.
