Patrick Bamford has made an honest Leeds United admission, armed with a “good omen” hope.

Whites striker Patrick Bamford has made a Leeds United season admission and highlighted his “good omen” hope for the new Championship campaign.

Bamford and Leeds are now one week into a second season back in the second tier following May’s play-off final defeat which the striker says has added even more “impetus” and “motivation” to this time seal a place back in the Premier League at the second attempt.

Bamford, though, admits Leeds simply “have to” - the Whites no 9 facing up to the expectation on his team and hopeful that a personal “good omen” will continue over the forthcoming campaign

Speaking on the My Mate’s A Footballer Podcast, Bamford was asked about Leeds initially being installed as title favourites and what the mood was like in camp.

Bamford admitted: “I think everyone kind of knows that after last year now this year we have to do it.

"It's almost like, I don't want to say it's like a revenge, but we feel like because of last year when we just missed out there's even more impetus for us to do it, more motivation.

"To be fair, every time that I have been in a team where we have not gone up, the next year we have gone up so hopefully that's a good omen."
