Leeds fans react as Roofe nears return from injury in vital run-in in promotion race
Kemar Roofe is approaching a return from injury to give Leeds United’s promotion push a mighty boost in the closing weeks of the season,
They that Roofe’s recovery from a knee problem is progressing so well and he is deemed to be so important to Marcelo Bielsa’s plans that he will be hurried back without the usual spell in the under 23 squad.
And after the Whites got themselves back into the Championship top two with a dramatic 3-2 win over Millwall on Saturday, while Sheffield United lost 3-2 at home to Bristol City, Roofe’s impending return only adds to the positivity around the club right now.
But it remains to be seen how quickly he is ready to start and where he goes into Bielsa’s team – and even the Leeds fans on Twitter couldn’t agree.
Some supporters want him to come straight in up front in place of Patrick Bamford, who struggled somewhat against Millwall, but others would like Roofe to be eased in more gently, from the bench.
Either way, the supporters couldn’t seem to agree, but they were all pleased to have Roofe back and we’ve put together some of the best reaction…
Bamford isn’t threatening as a striker. Defenders find Roofe a handful. He’s faster and more agile as a player. He has to start…MOT

Straight swap for Bamford who has struggled last few games

Stick him in for Bamford and use Bamford for impact from the subs bench. Simple.

Straight swap for the eternally languid Bamford. We need Roofes energy for this final blast. Happy for Bamford to come on after 70 mins and do his stuff then.

Roofe start on the bench. Roofe and Pat need to fight it out for the no9 role. When one isn’t working, try the other. Tyler more suited to that 10 role.

Obviously the inept Bamford out , straight swap very easy decision for the manager to make I would have thought.

I’d say we start with Bamford again and if he’s not playing well, bring Roofe on. We need both of these players to have high confidence going into the last 7 games…
