The Leeds United striker reckons the floodgates could open.
Tyler Roberts has suggested to LUTV that the floodgates can open for him now, after scoring twice for Leeds United on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old scored his first two goals for the Whites last night as Marcelo Bielsa’s side thrashed Preston 3-0 at Elland Road.
The former West Brom prospect, who joined Leeds for £2.5 million in January, missed a number of chances in the draw at Millwall last time out.
Roberts missed the second half of last season with injury, but the striker, playing in the absence of Patrick Bamford and Kemar Roofe, is now ‘hopeful’ that the floodgates can open for him.
He told LUTV when asked if the floodgates will open: “Yeah hopefully. As long as I’m still getting in the positions and I have confidence in my ability to hit the back of the net.”
Last night was a long time coming for Roberts, who didn’t even make his Leeds debut until this season.
The big question is can he do enough to keep Roofe away from that number nine shirt when the former Oxford United ace returns from injury, but if he keeps scoring goals then Bielsa will have little option but to continue with him.
