Pleased for him.
He has come in for a lot of stick, cant be nice.
Not just from the fans but the media as well.
"With a better striker Leeds would be out of sight".
"Shouldn't have sold Roofe"
Bamford isn't clinical enough".
All may be true, he hasn't been clinical enough, maybe they shouldn't have sold Roofe.
On the other hand.
Paddy is crucial to how we play, we saw that whenever Eddie played, we didn't look right somehow.
Roofe has got 1 in 6 in one of the weakest leagues in Europe and is either injured again or has been dropped (not in the last 2 squads)
And Paddy isn't the only player who hasn't been scoring enough and has missed sitters, Klich the other day, Harrison has missed a large chunk (including ironically the one he should have scored just before Paddy's 1st), Costa, Forshaw, Dallas etc they all been wasting chances.
Paddy is the joint 4th top scorer in the league and averages a goal every 182 minutes (basically 1 in 2).
He has gotten some stick for his hands over ears celebration as well, ive no problem with that, if we want to dish it out have to be able to take it.
Feel a bit sorry for Bamford, he hasn't been clinical enough, he has taken a lot of stick from all comers, he cant really argue that he hasn't been clinical enough based on chances we create.
But he hasn't been alone and because of the wastefulness of others he has had the whole weight of our goal scoring responsibilities basically on his shoulders.
Very excited to see how JKA does, hopefully his arrival will coincide with Hernandez, Harrison, Costa and co finding their shooting boots and the burden will be released from Paddy so much.
I think if that happens Paddy will score more because the pressure on every chance wont be so great.
Well played your lordship
