Leeds United lost 2-0 at home to Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds United lost 2-0 at home to Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon, prompting goalkeeper Robert Green to send a message to fans after the final whistle.
The Whites were beaten in their previous game having lost 2-1 at Huddersfield Town, and were hoping to hit back with a home win over Cardiff, given how strong their home form has been under Garry Monk.

However, Cardiff – led by former Leeds boss Neil Warnock – sprung a major surprise with a 2-0 win, as Sean Morrison headed home Craig Noone’s second half free kick for the opener, before Aron Gunnarsson stole the ball from Ronaldo Vieira and surged into the box, teeing up Kenneth Zohore for the game-clinching second.

Leeds’ Robert Green
With three defeats in the last five Championship games, Leeds now lie ten points off the automatic promotion places having played a game more, and also sit just four points ahead of seventh-placed Norwich City in the race for the play-offs.
Having also been dumped out of the FA Cup by non-league Sutton United last month, there are some fears that Leeds are wobbling – and goalkeeper Robert Green took to Twitter to send a message to supporters after the final whistle against Cardiff.
Green posted a lengthy message on Twitter, stating that the Leeds players are just as frustrated as Leeds fans right now, and believes he and his team-mates must adapt to playing against teams who set up to defend at Elland Road.
