Leeds striker Patrick Bamford misfired at the weekend.
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is coming in for stick after a poor performance against Wigan at the weekend.
Supporters were frustrated with Bamford’s goalless performance in the 1-0 loss.
Days earlier the striker had netted twice against Millwall in a 3-2 win, but he was unable to build on it.
Despite the criticism, former Leeds forward Brian Deane has urged fans not to abuse the striker, on both social media and in the stands.
And he also called on Bamford to take responsibility too, criticising his celebration against Millwall when he cupped his hands to his ears in response to previous criticism.
Leeds need positive vibes right now, and the frustration with defeat partly comes from anxiety after seeing their season collapse last season after a home defeat to the same opponent.
The Whites also have new signing Jean-Kevin Augustin waiting for his chance, although he was not even on the bench.
Leeds’ next fixture is a crucial one, away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. It is important fans and players stick together.
