Paul Robinson has raved about Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford on the club’s official website.

The former Leeds goalkeeper has been impressed with how Bamford has played for the Whites so far this season.

Robinson told Leeds’s official website: “I’ve been really impressed with how Leeds have started, especially Patrick Bamford as well, a lot was said about him not taking chances, but he’s been brilliant, he’s really taken on the mantle, the manager has given him a vote of confidence and his performance as well as his goals have been fantastic this season.”

Patrick Bamford Stats

Bamford made 43 starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds last season, scoring 16 goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The 27-year-old former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea man has scored three goals and providing one assist in four Premier League matches for Marcelo Bielsa’s side so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Proving his critics wrong

Bamford has had his critics, and many would have been sceptical about the striker leading the line for Leeds in the Premier League.

The striker is doing fine at the moment, as he is scoring goals, helping out defensively, and working hard off the ball.

Of course, it is still very early in the season, but given how well Bamford did last season and his role in the team, he is going to bang in the goals in the coming weeks and months.
