Bit of a scrappy game at times yesterday but a great three points. Usual Leeds stuff - dominated possession, squandered lots of chances with Bamford and Costa being the main culprits- and could have dropped two points at the end. Bamford is the nominated striker but isn't scoring and should take his fair share of criticism. I have not been a fan of his as a striker and there have been calls for him to be dropped. I don't agree. Who would take his place> Augustin is clearly not fit and over weight. He might come into contention for the last half dozen games - maybe not till next season. Roberts is not as good as Bamford in any way. And there is no one else. Bamford's hold up play is very good and we create more chances when he plays. Pity he can't score but then again who can? Law of averages means he is bound to get one or two soon.

Radz and orta and Bielsa at fault again when we needed impact transfers in January we got a player who wasn't fit for 90min and another who can't make the bench. Now we are still dependent on bam and Costa. Heres hoping we get away with it.

Indeed Hess . by default Bambam starts next game as no better replacement available it seems
. hopefully Bambam scores against Boro . and goes one scoring run .
.
JKA needs to continue to work hard on his fitness.

Ah go on I’ll say it
I like Bamford.
So does Bielsa
In an ideal world we’d still have Roofe. He was first choice and Bam the back up. We don’t.
Bamford has carried the load pretty much all season, Eddie wasn’t the right sort of player to start
You can’t just magic better players up, sometimes you have to wait. Especially with the budget restraints we operate under
We got big Kev and that’s a bit of a coup for a championship club. He’s got great potential, he’s excited at the project. Sometimes with a signing you need to look 6-12 months down the line. You should be excited at the project too
Back to bam bam
I’ll refer you to the words of the great Gary Speed
Give your best, that’s all you can do
According to a reporter “ Leeds played like men possessed “ yesterday
I’ll take that for the next 12 games and back anyone in a Leeds shirt 100%
If Bambam contributes to a promotion winning season he should be recognised accordingly.

Top post that Woody, and I like BamBam too. He’d be worth a fortune if he was prolific! 🤔.

Prolific I'd be happy if he just scored when it's on a plate for him.
