Tony Dorigo has taken to Twitter to praise the Leeds supporters at The Hawthorns on Saturday and insist that Marcelo Bielsa’s men will bounce back from their defeat against West Brom.

The Whites suffered only their third Championship defeat of the season, with four second-half goals from the Baggies putting them out of sight by the time that Pablo Hernandez looped his stoppage-time header into the back of the net.

It was a hugely disappointing night for Leeds, who would have gone back to the top of the second tier with the win heading into the international break, and now find themselves as close to the table’s summit as they are to seventh place Nottingham Forest.

But Dorigo suggested that there was one major positive on show from Leeds in the 4-1 defeat and that was the supporters who seemed to refuse to give up on the side even when West Brom were in the midst of their 32-minute goalscoring spree after the break.

And the 1992 title-winner made the prediction that Leeds will have little problem getting themselves back on track following this blip once the season resumes in a fortnight.

Leeds face two home games in a row after the international break, with Bristol City and Reading both coming to Elland Road before the end of the month.
