Sam Allardyce has pinpointed Patrick Bamford as someone who could play a critical role for Leeds United over the remaining four games of the Premier League season. The former England boss has work to do at Elland Road if he is to keep the Whites in the top flight and he knows he’ll need all hands on deck over the coming weeks.
However, having watched Leeds underachieve from afar this campaign, he knows he must attempt to bring the best out of key players across the park. One of those players is Bamford, who despite scoring two in his last four outings, has struggled to perform on a consistent basis all season.
The striker has only scored four Premier League goals all season, with form and fitness seeing him move in and out of the side with regularity. Allardyce, though, will be looking to Bamford to step things up and make more of an impact over the final month after singling him out in his opening press conference as head coach of the Whites.
