These Leeds fans react to Robbie Gotts debut v Arsenal… after 35 times as a sub
35 games. That’s how long Robbie Gotts had to sit on the bench without getting a minute of action for Leeds United.
Marcelo Bielsa admitted he felt guilty about it and finally unleashed Gotts in the FA Cup clash against Arsenal tonight.
The 20-year-old started off well and had a decent hour on the pitch. With a bit more composure in the box he could have scored, maybe even a couple.
But this will have done him a world of good and the Leeds fans were very appreciative of his efforts on the pitch.
It can’t have been easy to come on for your debut against Arsenal, but Gotts rarely looked out of place.
However, while many Leeds fans queued up to shower him with praise, others wondered how long it would be before we see him again.
Bielsa said previously that he wouldn’t be surprised if Gotts asked to leave – hopefully on loan – but we think he could have a decent part to play in the second half of the season.
Maybe.
If not, Gotts has this game tonight to treasure – and there were plenty of Leeds fans who were thrilled for him.

Gotts did run out of puff in the second half and he was taken off after an hour – just at the right time according to the Leeds fans.
