Former Nottingham Forest striker Patrick Bamford has warned Leeds United have to learn lessons quickly as they prepare to come up against his old club.
Both teams go into next Monday’s clash at Elland Road without a win in three Premier League games. The Reds suffered a second half collapse to fall 3-2 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, having previously been toppled by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. Their opponents have lost to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, with a draw at Everton sandwiched in between.
Boss Jesse Marsch accused the officials of a “lack of respect” after Ivan Toney’s hat-trick downed his side at the weekend, hitting out at the use of VAR against the Bees. But Bamford, who stepped up his comeback from injury by playing 45 minutes, says improvements are needed ahead of facing Forest, after Leeds got back into the game at 2-1 at half-time, only to lose 5-2.
