If Bamford can stay fit it will give DF a very good option either as a starter or coming off the bench. Maybe a player that does not need to play full matches. Just on the basis of the last game against a very poor and out of sorts Birmingham, so it's hard to properly judge, Bamford chased and harried their back line and also gave our wide men and the defence a focus point for a long ball in to him. The opposition had something different to think about.weasel wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 11:15 pm I don't know what we have with Bamford now. I hope he is back to his best but I just don't know. Thankfully because we have other strikers and they have been doing well it has hopefully meant Bamford has been given enough time to well and truely be over his injuries and past the stage where you injure a different part of your body as you are overprotecting the part you had injured previously.
The goal will hopefully give him confidence and we will see what the best version of Bamford is capable of. It will be great if he can be a useful weapon for us as it does allow us to play differently and it may be a way of helping us break down defences if he can occupy defenders and give more room to the likes of Cree, Rutter and James.
I suspect if he is shipping Joseph and Gelhardt out on loan this window (as some reports are suggesting) he is likely looking to bring another 9 in. I think Lawrence Shankland would be a decent shout.
A Rolls-Royce of a defender!AcrossThePondAsh wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 2:03 pm Regardless of the competition, another great performance from Joe.

Throughout the decades, we have been blessed with quality, influential centre-backs & generally they are one of my favourite players at the time.AcrossThePondAsh wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 1:11 am Knew you of all people would appreciate the video, '64
