In a heartfelt plea to Leeds United fans, Dan Bardell is urging supporters to stand by Patrick Bamford in the face of recent criticism over the striker’s performance. Despite facing backlash for his lack of goals, Bardell, a journalist for Sky Sports and talkSPORT, believes that showing unwavering support for Bamford is crucial in helping him regain his form.
Highlighting the team’s limited options in attack, Bardell stressed the importance of fans standing behind Bamford during this challenging period. While acknowledging the striker’s struggles in finding the back of the net, Bardell cautioned against negative criticism, emphasizing that it will only serve to hinder Bamford’s progress. Instead, he underscored the need for patience and encouragement as Bamford works diligently to rediscover his form.
Despite facing adversity at Elland Road in the past, Bardell pointed out that Bamford has displayed flashes of brilliance in the Premier League. While some fans may be growing impatient with the striker, Bardell implored for understanding and support as Bamford continues to strive for improvement.
Following a disappointing performance in a League Cup defeat to Middlesbrough, Bardell acknowledged that Bamford may have appeared out of shape. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic that with proper fitness and unwavering support from fans, Bamford has the potential to bounce back and make a positive impact on the team’s success.
