Leeds United defender Liam Cooper has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s defeat to Birmingham City at the weekend.

The West Yorkshire outfit suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Birmingham at Elland Road in the Championship this past Saturday.

It was the Whites’ first defeat in the Championship this season, and Leeds defender Cooper is disappointed.

The 27-year-old central defender, though, has said that the team will work hard this order and are determined to bounce back against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening.

Leeds fans have responded positively to Cooper’s message on Twitter.

Tough one to take at the weekend. The best teams learn and come back fighting.. Hard work all week building to a massive game under the lights Friday night.. #MOT

A loss was bound to come eventually but it’s how we bounce back that’ll determine how our season will go. It’s hard to keep to the high standards you lads have set. Keep at it.

We weren’t our best but still dominated the stats! Yes we lost but still positives to take from the game. They had 4 shots and scored two poor goals from our point of view, easy to sort. On to the next which sadly I’ll miss

All part of the learning experience I guess. Also refreshing to see the manager holding his hands up about the mistake. Keep up the good work skipper!

Despite the defeat to Birmingham, Leeds remain at the top of the Championship table with 18 points from nine matches.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are level on points with second-placed Middlesbrough, and they will be confident of bouncing back against Wednesday on Friday evening.

Leeds have not featured in the Premier League since 2004, but perhaps things will change soon.
