A graphic is going around which epitomises Patrick Bamford’s Leeds United struggle right now.
It’s becoming a very difficult season for Leeds United’s Patrick Bamford.
The 25-year-old, a £10 million signing in 2018 [BBC Sport)] struggled again in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Preston North End, and now is two months without a goal for the promotion-chasing Whites.
What’s worse is that the Leeds striker has started each and every game in that two-month period.
Fans of the Elland Road are growing tired of Bamford up front and want to see Eddie Nketiah – who scored the equaliser at Deepdale off the bench this week – given his full Championship debut.
A graphic of Bamford’s goalscoring woes has been published on Twitter, and some Leeds supporters believe that it just epitomises what they already knew.
Leeds go to Sheffield Wednesday this weekend and there’s simply no way that Marcelo Bielsa can start Bamford ahead of Eddie Nketiah.
He is certainly brave enough to do exactly that, and he might, but at this point it should be obvious that Nketiah is the hungrier of both strikers and Bamford needs a stint on the bench.
