It took him time to win over the fans. But this season, he truly has etched himself as a cult-hero among the Elland Road faithful, mainly through his bundles of energy and an admirable work-rate.
Patrick Bamford went through a goal-drought phase from late August to early November, a span of 10 games, where he was often jeered by the Leeds fans. While fans were demanding Marcelo Bielsa to start with Eddie Nketiah, the Argentine kept faith in the 26-year-old as he felt Bamford brings a lot more to the table.
His decision is vindicated.
