Missed opportunities: Leeds fans criticise striker Patrick Bamford

[ad_pod ]

Patrick Bamford has only scored six Championship goals for Leeds United this season.

In fairness, the striker’s campaign was interrupted by a knee injury, but there is a general feeling that the Englishman misses more than he converts.

There is a lot of pressure on Bamford at the moment due to the absence of Kemar Roofe.

The 25-year-old has managed three goals in his last four Championship appearances, but could not prevent the Whites from losing 1-0 to Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.

Bamford recently attempted to rally the fans ahead of the final run-in.

However, the 6ft 1in forward was instead criticised by the Leeds supporters, with a number calling for him to worry more about sticking the ball in the back of the net than making empty promises.

It would be a disaster if the Yorkshire outfit were not promoted after the season that they have had, but that is certainly a possibility entering a fascinating next couple of months.
