CONFIRMED Patrick Bamford

[Matlock Blade]

I wanted us to sign him, so I'm not going to say I was wrong. He's doing well.

 

[Right Back]

Hated him as a Leeds player, but was more than happy for him to add something a little different to our miss firing front line. He looks hungry for goals and the rest of the team seem to like him. He seems to like it at the lane, so go for it, Pat. I’m in!

 

[Slug]

Very good footballer. A lot stronger than I ever realised too.

Bamford is different to anyone we currently have, has that swagger, that instinctive awareness that experience can bring.
Sometimes those precious extra seconds are all that's needed for good players to make a difference, Bamford has this in spades so can we please extend his agreement for at least two more years? You'd hope that the younger element in our squad would learn from Bamford's all-round game, he certainly has contributed to our current improvement.

I said to my old man when wilder put his arm round bamford at hillsborough. We had that feeling that they’ve already got a great relationship and he’s going to score some vital goals this season for him. Can just tell from wilders man management that Patrick’s going to run through brick walls for him. can’t wait for rest of the season! Up the fucking blades and we all hate Leeds scum

 

[Melbourne Blade]

It's no coincidence since he's arrived we've won 4 games and scored a fk tonne of goals. Hope he can stay fit and here past January.

It’s no coincidence since we have played two upfront….

Football managers and tacticians like to try and reinvent the wheel over the decades.. the fact that will always remain is.. “get the ball forward, get players forward.. you will create more chances and score most goals”

I for one would like to see someone try a 435, not because I think it would work, but because it's mathematically impossible with only 10 outfield players.

 

[relish]

However bad the season has been so far, I’ve been one of those who has genuinely believed we have too much quality to go down.
I’m not at all sure now. This is death throes stuff.

I was wrong when I wrote this on the day Bamford joined.
I thought signing him showed we had no strategy as a club and were just thrashing around aimlessly trying to find solutions to our problems. But so far he’s been good -and yesterday he was very good. Even if he leaves in Jan (I hope not), it will have been worthwhile.
Sorry, Pat.

Completely agree, lashings of custard with my humble pie please garçon!

 

[BouncinBlade]

It's a mcgoldrick type signing

 

[gavtheblade]

Get Bamford and Riedewald tied down to longer deals please United.

Thank you.

Both have made a huge difference alongside Seriki getting a regular start.
No brainer to get them both signed up.

 

[Keen Blade]

Brooks should have buried Bamford's lovely cutback in front of the kop yesterday.
Htf did he spoon it over from 2 yards ?

He was knocked off balance but the ball was too far behind him anyway

Cheers , my view wasn't clear

 

[Sheffsteel]

Don’t think Bamford is a particular good striker but he gives us something different and he seems to be that missing piece.

He’s having a similiar effect to McGoldrick, in that Bamford is slow but quite clever.
He knows when to come deeper supplementing midfield. He’s also a past master at shithousery, knows how to draw fouls winning us free kicks.

Creating a football team is like cooking a fancy meal.
It’s really starting to look like Jairo and Bamford were the missing ingredients because all our other players now look so much better too.
A few around me on the Kop were saying this years team look more free scoring and seem to be playing better football than last years team.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Thought he was excellent again yesterday , lead the line so well , a very intelligent footballer . Just hope we can keep the lad fit

He was full tilt and the ball was just under him / behind. Tried to drag us his foot back to it.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I agree with this. Last year we were shit to watch and it would have been the most underwhelming promotion ever if we’d gone up. The team as it is playing at the moment is a much more enjoyable watch.

He’s played 4 games, 174 minutes scoring 2 goals or 1 / 87 mins - do for me

Hes also the most intelligent forward in terms of game play and not just finishing/running channels

Comes across as a decent bloke once you scratch under the shit house history

Gerrim signed up Chrisseh

" Creating a football team is like cooking a fancy meal " I'm afraid you are incorrect, creating a football team is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, ask Swiss Tony

Yeah he just fits in well for how Wilder tries to play

You’ve got to make sure you pick the right one, and always in their favoured positions. And if all goes well, everyone is satisfied at the end.

Always nice to find another Athletico Mince fan. Just hope he doesn't spill his frothy coffee and need uncle mark to get the belinda wipes out...

I, for one, am a fan of frothy coffee Bamford.

 

[ancientblade]

think bamford can only get better still doesnt look totally match fit and think a few sessions in the gym to beef him up a bit will do him the world of good also a bit of a shithousery type of player think he will suit us

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with his strength. Seen many occasions where he’s used his strength and balance to good effect. He needs game time to get match fit and that is coming. Managing his minutes is key, for now and CWAK are doing that. His fitness is improving and so is his overall contribution. Such a clever pick up - just like Jairo.
