The inside track on the football stories that matter
Patrick Bamford’s work rate was “terrible” for Leeds United in their 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday ., former West Ham United and Celtic striker Frank McAvennie slammed Bamford, 30, for his “awful” 22-minute outing from the bench as he continually “strolled about” and failed to try reclaiming possession.
The Englishman has not bagged a single goal in his last six league outings for the Whites – five starts and one substitute appearance from the bench against Rovers. His form had been impressive between January and March, having scored seven goals in his 10 league appearances since New Year’s Day, but many Leeds fans have become fed up with his wasteful finishing and lacklustre displays.McAvennie urged Bamford to “get his act together” ahead of Leeds’ promotion-deciding run-in as he needs to be the main man up top for Daniel Farke’s side.
