Rivvo 257 Posted February 18, 2019 Bad news for him and Leeds, who is their next best striker? Potentially bad news for us too if they don’t take points of other teams in the top 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted February 18, 2019 Bamford probably. Wouldn't bet on him staying fit for the entire 3 months though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 18, 2019 Not denouncing him as a striker, but is Bamford a good fit for the Leeds way of playing? Roofe seemed to fit their style very well. Is it similar (attitude aside) to an Oliveira/Norwich situation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glory.win or die. 270 Posted February 18, 2019 I'm sure they will cope but will miss roofes energy. Hopefully pukki stays fit, but this is why I'm surprised at 4-0 We didn't rest pukki for 30mins, and give the other strikers proper game time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted February 18, 2019 Presumably you don't take off a man on the verge of a hatrick was the thinking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pukki should’ve taken the pen and then gone for a rest. That was my thinking. Perfect chance for hat trick but why risk him after 3 games in 6 days. But if Farke took every decision based on my thoughts we would be below Ipswich... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,510 Posted February 18, 2019 He has been a positive for Leeds and tends to be in and around the right area ..... Will be a miss for them. Like us though someone will have to step up. Glad we have had Teemu fit this season ( apart from a brief gap). Still think we need another deputy in his style of play. Not seen quite enough of Denis yet but think he is in another mould, Rhodes likewise. Saying all this I was struggling to think of another like Pukki this weekend speaking with my son. We couldn't think easily about another just like him. He is Mr Clinical and so mobile & industrious. A joy to watch too off the ball with his runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted February 18, 2019 I don't like to see anyone injured, especially long term, seems to me Roofe got off to a flyer at the start of the season. Reading Leeds' MB's after our game, there was a few suggestions that he should be withdrawn for Bamford and wasn't as effective as he had been. Good player, hope he recovers soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted February 19, 2019 Roofe, one for us to consider next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Roofe is a cracking player.. Sincerely hope he makes a full recovery, but in a purely cynical NCFC perspective, it is good news that Leeds will have to do without him. They don't really have anybody like him and he fits their style so well. I feel this will cost them points, regardless of who they stick on to replace him.
