They may however, have lost some of that optimism when, after controlling much of the game up until that point, Adam Reach scored an incredible goal just before half-time for the Owls.
Leeds would equalise at Hillsborough and certainly did the better job of pushing for a winner. But the home side held on to pick up a decent point.
It was perhaps a frustrating night, but Leeds will go into their clash with Hull feeling extremely positive. And one of the players whose latest performance was widely praised was Roberts.
The forward endured a difficult night and was not given a lot of service, but his effort could not be questioned, and a lot of supporters were extremely impressed by his movement.
