Daniel Farke has made much of Leeds United's youthfulness this season but there is plenty of play-off experience within the squad. Sadly,most of it is heartbreak, yet that can now be used as fuel for the fire.
Memories around Elland Road are still bitterly fresh when it comes to the 2018/19 campaign and that semi-final defeat by Derby County. Club captain Liam Cooper, Jamie Shackleton and Patrick Bamford were all involved, though the latter missed the first leg through suspension. Bamford holds by far and away the most experience in the dressing room when it comes to the play-offs, with seven appearances to his name at three different clubs.
And at Wembley he started and finished the game, which Brentford won 2-0. “Things happen, someone had to lose and unfortunately it was us,” said Roberts. “I am big enough and old enough to realise that, we move on.” The Bees' route to that final took them past Bournemouth in the semi-finals, for whom Jaidon Anthony sat on the bench for both games. Leeds' loanee has got some play-off match minutes, but they came in the National League South with Weymouth in the 2019/20 season.
