Leeds United supporters have been sending positive messages to striker Patrick Bamford.

It is the backlash to the backlash after the striker was blasted following the 1-0 defeat at home to Wigan at the weekend.

A lot of this frustration came with manager Marcelo Bielsa, who chose to leave new signing Jean Kevin Augustin out of the matchday squad.

Bamford performed poorly, but in the previous game he was the match winner, scoring two goals in a comeback victory over Millwall.

Bamford last night posted his first message on Twitter in a month, paying tribute to former Nottingham Forest owner Nigel Doughty, who died eight years ago.

Bamford was a youth team player at Forest at the time.
