Daniel Farke stood up for Patrick Bamford with growing question marks from some about the Leeds United striker's effectiveness.
Bamford missed a good chance in the first half of Leeds' first Championship defeat of 2024 and whilst it was nowhere near as bad a miss as against Hull City on Easter Monday, a player of his quality and experience still ought to have buried it.
'But I'm also struggling to be over-critical of Patrick because in terms of workload, shift and what he invested it was a proper game, it just didn't feel like he'd be there with the decisive moment. That was the reason for the substitution.' Farke did not want to give his players a free pass after a disappointingly flat performance in the west Midlands, but he was also conscious of not over-reacting. 'It's definitely important,' he said.
