In a plea to Leeds United supporters, Dan Bardell has called for a show of support for Patrick Bamford amid recent criticism of his performance. The striker has faced backlash from fans for his lack of goals, with just one in his last ten matches. Bardell, a journalist for Sky Sports and talkSPORT, believes that backing Bamford is crucial for helping him regain his form.
Bardell emphasized the importance of the fans rallying behind Bamford, especially given the team’s limited options in attack. Despite Bamford’s struggles in front of goal, Bardell stressed that negative criticism will only hinder his progress. The journalist highlighted the need for patience and support as Bamford works to rediscover his form.
Although Bamford has faced challenges at Elland Road in recent seasons, Bardell noted that he has shown potential in the Premier League. While some fans have grown frustrated with the striker, Bardell urged for understanding and encouragement as Bamford strives to improve.
Following a lackluster performance in a League Cup defeat to Middlesbrough, Bardell acknowledged that Bamford appeared unfit. However, he remains optimistic that with proper fitness and support, Bamford can bounce back and contribute positively to the team’s success.
