Image for Leeds: Fans react to Bamford stats

A lot of Leeds United fans were appalled by new statistics that show just how poor Patrick Bamford’s finishing is.

A tweet from Championship Stats over the weekend revealed that Bamford has had the most headed shots off target (23), the most shots off target (53), and the most ‘big chances’ missed (20).

Is Bamford solely to blame for Leeds' goalscoring problems?

Yes, he is the striker

No, he needs support from others

This data infuriated many Leeds fans who are sick of the 26-year-old wasting opportunities.

What do we think?

Bamford, who is valued at £5.4m by Transfermarkt, has missed a lot of chances this season, and his poor finishing has cost the Whites in some games.

However, he is still their top scorer with 12 goals, and their next-highest player is Jack Harrison on five.

It seems that the former Middlesbrough striker has not received that support he needs from his teammates, and the rest of the squad is going to have to chip in.

The arrival of Jean-Kevin Augustin should help, but for now, it is down to Bamford and the other players in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad until the Frenchman gets up and running.
