Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has backed misfiring Whites striker Patrick Bamford after the 30-year-old failed to find the net for the fourth consecutive match at the weekend.

Bamford's return to the Leeds lineup at the start of 2024 coincided with an upturn in form, both individually and as a collective, as the 2020 Championship promotion-winner hit a purple patch in front of goal. The experienced attacker scored important goals against Birmingham City, Cardiff City, Peterborough United in the FA Cup, Norwich City and Rotherham United before missing a couple of games mid-February through injury.

We have a tendency to praise our academy starlets without having played one ball in the first-team. It’s important not to put too much weight on the shoulders. Also the other way round, in recent games, to not underestimate what Patrick is giving to the team,' Farke added. Farke also took it upon himself to explain perhaps why Bamford is perceived by supporters in a certain way, comparing self-confidence with arrogance during different scenarios such as winning and losing games.
