Leeds United fans have praised Patrick Bamford’s comments in the Yorkshire Evening Post, where he praised Kemar Roofe.

Bamford is in competition for a place with Roofe in the Leeds starting line-up, and he has been kept in reserve so far.

The summer signing has had to watch from the sidelines, as Roofe has put in a series of impressive performances.

Roofe scored twice for Leeds against Derby County in their last league match.

And even after scoring against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup, Bamford has admitted that he doesn’t mind playing second fiddle for the time being.

“Having six weeks with him, things become more natural whereas I’ve been here two weeks,” Bamford said. “It might take longer.

“I still have to think a little bit about what he wants me to do, rather than it coming naturally. It is one of those things; a learning period.”

The comments have impressed Leeds fans, who believe that Bamford is already buying into Marcelo Bielsa’s plans at Elland Road.

Roofe looks likely to start ahead of Bamford this weekend, when Leeds take on Rotherham United.
