Patrick Bamford was left out of Leeds United's starting line-up for Saturday's clash at home to Blackburn Rovers after struggling to make an impact in recent weeks
Patrick Bamford has been told to "get his act together" after a "terrible" showing against Blackburn Rovers. Former West Ham United and Celtic striker Frank McAvennie criticised the striker's work rate following his late introduction as a substitute in Saturday's 1-0 defeat. It was United's first loss at Elland Road this season.
Reflecting on United's slip-up, McAvennie told Football Insider: “I didn’t see that defeat coming. I watched him and he was just strolling about – he looked terrible. I don’t like seeing strikers strolling about like that.“He missed a few big chances in the game and I was thinking that if his mind was on the game, he wouldn’t have missed them. He’s got to get his act together because he’s the focal point for Leeds at the moment.
