Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United side have lost three of their last four matches.
Leeds have badly stumbled in recent weeks, which has seen their lead inside the automatic promotion spaces cut right down.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are now under big pressure, with the chasing pack catching them.
But Roberts issued a message of defiance in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“All of the boys know we are the best team in the Championship and we deserve to go up,” the £2.5 million attacker (Birmingham Mail) said.
Roberts’ words may have been to make a public statement about the confidence that is still in Leeds’ camp.
However, the Welsh international has opened himself up to criticism from both Leeds fans and supporters of other teams.
Leeds have lost three of their last four games, which has seen them slip down to second place in the Championship table.
The Whites are currently just three points clear of Fulham, with their next game coming against fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest.
