Given the different seasons that the two players are having in terms of goals and overall form, it really is no contest between Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford this season. Roofe has been far superior, and as he nears a return from his latest layoff, the WHites cannot wait for him to be back in the side over the shoddy Bamford.

Marcelo Bielsa has been talking about Roofe and has branded him as ‘a very important player’ something that you won’t be able to argue about with any Leeds fan. Had Roofe been on the pitch instead of Bamford on Saturday against Millwall then there are few doubts that he would have been relied upon to take the spot-kick, although as it was Bamford stepped up and missed.
That’s been the story of Bamford’s season, though, as the ex-Chelsea man has been more than a little bit disappointing. His goals just haven’t come as thick and fast as the fans have needed, and Roofe has been the one that the Whites have been backing to bring the goals. His 14 so far have proven vital, and the 26-year-old should be able to add a few more to that total when he returns to fitness.

Could do with him back going to last 7 games.

This is great news, #LUFC have had their fair share of injuries throughout the season & the return of @roofe will provide a fully fit squad at the right time. #MOT #ALAW

We are all looking forward to his return. Think we would have beaten Sheffield and scored more goals against Millwall if he’d been playing.

The Whites can’t get enough of Roofe when he’s fit and will be backing the 26-year-old to kick them on to new heights upon his injury return.
