Pablo Hernandez looked upset after Leeds United’s defeat on Monday.
Leeds United fans are waking up devastated today – and rightly so.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 2-0 away to Brentford on Monday in a defeat which leaves their hopes of automatic promotion effectively up in smoke.
The Whites are three points behind Sheffield United – who have a significantly better goal difference – with only two Championship games to go.
The anguish of the playoff probably awaits Leeds who, up until Friday, had promotion in their own hands, but back-to-back defeats by Wigan and the Bees have scuppered that.
United fans will be massively disappointed, but the same could be said for the players – and one in particular.
Leeds star Pablo Hernandez looked heartbroken immediately after yesterday’s defeat, holding his head in his hands, before head coach Bielsa consoled him.
If Bielsa’s side show up, this Leeds team could breeze through the playoffs, but the Argentine coach needs to restore the morale and collective confidence before then.
