Leeds United return to the summit of the Championship’s standings at the weekend after a 1-0 triumph over Bolton extended the club’s winning streak to five matches.
The Peacocks have excelled under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa to establish themselves amongst the favourites in the hunt for promotion but there is still plenty of work to be done over the course of the coming months.
Saturday’s hard-fought victory came after Patrick Bamford returned from injury to open his scoring account for the club but there has been some confusion about the fitness of the forward, who also played for the U23 side on Monday.
It has now been claimed that Bamford will not be fully fit for at least a couple more months and will be forced to play through the pain barrier when he features during that time – which raised some concern amongst the fans.
We have gathered some of their comments below.

Proud of Bam Bam, playing through the pain barrier for #LUFC. That is deeds worthy of King Billy #MOT #ALAW

I’d rather he just get fit instead of coming back in pain

Don’t really even know what this means. Is he fit or not
