The Whites have seen their form pick up in recent weeks.
Leeds United summer signing Kyle Bartley has told BBC Radio Leeds that the club’s supporters have been noticeably more welcoming towards him now that wins are being recorded.
Bartley joined the Whites on loan from Swansea City this summer, reuniting with his former Swans boss Garry Monk, and has scored once in 10 appearances so far this season.
Leeds’ form on the whole has been very mixed thus far this term. They won just one of their first six Championship games, but have recorded back-to-back victories in their last two and have seen off Fleetwood Town, Luton Town, and Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup.
The poor start to the season severely dampened the optimism that had risen throughout the summer, and had seen some supporters begin to turn against the team.
However, fresh life has been breathed into Elland Road with three consecutive victories in all competitions, and Bartley admits that he has seen a difference in supporters’ attitudes.
When asked by BBC Radio Leeds if he gets much positive attention from fans, Bartley replied: “Not when we were losing. They left me alone a little bit when we were losing.
“But since the results have turned I think the fans have been a lot more welcoming to me and, fingers crossed they’ve been fantastic with me so far, hopefully that can continue.”
Bartley has been something of a regular for the Yorkshire side since his arrival, and will be hoping to continue as an important part of Monk’s side.
