Leeds United’s first-team has struggled in front of goal this season.

Leeds fans show their support prior to the Sky Bet Championship Play-off semi final second leg match between Leeds United and Derby County at Elland Road on May 15, 2019 in Leeds, England.

Some Leeds United fans are tweeting Ryan Edmondson after the striker scored again for the Whites’ Under-23s.

Edmondson has become prolific at that level, but continues to wait for a proper first-team breakthrough despite Leeds’ struggles in front of goal this season.

Their primary striker Patrick Bamford has now gone nine games without finding the net, although he continues to get the nod over Eddie Nketiah – his immediate understudy who in the eyes of the Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa does not do quite as much work for the team.

Leeds United's Ryan Edmondson in action during the Pre-season Friendly match between York City and Leeds United on July 10, 2019 in York, England.

After his header earned Carlos Corberan’s side a 1-1 draw with Burnley at Elland Road on Monday, Edmondson posted the following message on Twitter:

And here are some of the responses from those of a Leeds persuasion…

Edmondson, whose imposing physique belies his 18 years, made his senior debut under Bielsa at the start of last season.

But the York-born player has only appeared once since then, with his number of first-team minutes totalling just 35.

Leeds fans – could Edmondson solve your goalscoring issues?
