‘I DIDN’T THINK HE WOULD GET BACK…’ SKY PUNDIT AMAZED BY ‘OUTSTANDING’ LEEDS UNITED STAR’S TURNAROUND

Up until December, Patrick Bamford would have been fearing the worst at Leeds United because not many things were going right for him.
The 30-year-old had just suffered relegation with the club and was now
battling to earn starts for a squad in the Championship.
Summertime acquisition Patrick Bamford’s future appeared bleak as Joel Piroe emerged as the team’s primary man and began to win over Leeds supporters with his performances and goals.
Clinton Morrison stated this to Soccer Special on Sky Sports on January 23, 24,
at 7:30 p.m., explaining why he believes he won’t be able to return to Daniel Farke’s starting lineup.
However, looking ahead, the former EFL striker believes Patrick Bamford has
been “outstanding” for the Whites this season.
He scored on that afternoon and has since scored three more significant goals within that time, not to include the incredible goal in the FA Cup, so he hasn’t looked back since receiving his first Championship start against Birmingham City on New Year’s Day.
The Englishman’s resurgence has been impressive, as has his ability to bench Joel Piroe in recent months. On Tuesday night, as Leeds defeated Swansea City, Piroe made his comeback to the starting lineup.

Patrick Bamford’s turnaround at Leeds United

“He is important,” said Morrison about Bamford ahead of the run-in for Leeds.

“But I didn’t think he would get back into the team.

“Joel Piroe, who they signed, was outstanding. But when you have

competition for places, that’s what Leeds have. Bamford can come in there and he

has done well. He has been given his opportunity.

“I recall that he missed a penalty against Stoke when he first returned.” I believed it would damage his self-esteem, and he

left the team. He is now receiving objectives of all types. Serving others is

what Patrick Bamford desires. I believe he has performed admirably.

Patrick Bamford’s last dance for Leeds?

The main aim for Leeds is to earn promotion back to the Premier League, as of this moment, they are on track because they are sitting second in the Championship table.

If Farke does get the Yorkshire club back to the promised land, then it might prove to be the last dance for Bamford in Leeds colours.

He turns 31 in September, and you get the impression that the Premier League team will let him go after appreciating his contributions.

 

Thus, Bamford’s farewell gift to a squad that has supported him throughout his career may be these upcoming months.
