Patrick Bamford addresses Leeds supporters outside his home after missing a penalty kick for Newcastle

Patrick Bamford addresses Leeds supporters outside his home after missing a penalty kick for Newcastle.

 

 

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford endured a great deal of criticism due to the relegation threat last season. He has now spoken out about the Leeds supporters who were waiting outside his home.

 

The 30-year-old Bamford is back to his best right now. He has scored four goals since the beginning of the year, regaining his spot in Elland Road’s starting lineup and producing huge goals like a worldie in the FA Cup.

 

However, Bamford went from being a hero to a zero in the second part of the previous season. He scored the first goal in our 5-1 loss to Palace, which many believe was the turning point in our struggle to avoid relegation.

 

Prior to the game, we had defeated Forest. We lost the next nine games and that was our last victory. After a string of injuries, Bamford missed a penalty in a 2-2 home draw with Newcastle.

 

He had already deleted his Twitter account following a last-minute miss against Leicester. Following the missed penalty, Bamford received death threats and was accosted by Leeds supporters at his house.

not only him but also his kin. The club responded to it by criticizing the actions of a few supporters who made the decision to act in that way. Absolute injustice, regardless of the circumstances.

 

During his conversation with comedian Joe Wilkinson on his podcast, My Mate’s A Footballer, Bamford discussed the events of that day, including his missed penalty. He describes the supporters who had gathered outside his residence.

Furthermore, his spouse Michaela expressed how insecure they felt in their own house: “We looked like we were going down, which is exactly what happened to Leeds. It was a pretty diabolical situation.” Up until about mid-March, I was on Twitter, but I wasn’t tweeting regularly. The assault became so severe that even my young daughter was threatened.

 

“I eventually stopped using Twitter and deleted the account. When I spoke with David, the psychologist, he advised me to ignore it and given me coping mechanisms. We had a home game against Newcastle; I played well despite missing a penalty. Big Sam said, “Shame about the penalty, but that’s what I need from you.”

 

After the game, I was stuck in heavy traffic when my partner Michaela called. There are individuals outside the home, she said. “What do you mean?” I asked. They had not moved from their outside parking spot. I called my dad as I was climbing and told him to come downstairs right now. My drive’s entry was obstructed by two vehicles.

He went on, “Put my window down, they put their windows up and stared at me.” “They drove off as soon as Dad unlocked the gate. It was the conclusion of the previous few weeks, and whether fair or wrong, I accepted the criticism. They phrased it in an absurd way. Even at home, Michaela didn’t feel secure.

 

“After I called David, he asked me how I was feeling. “I feel like I want to kill someone,” I murmured. That someone has visited the house infuriates me. The residence was under guard all night long by the club. On his My Mate’s a Footballer pod, Bamford stated, “David game me coping mechanisms to shut out the noise.”
