Here are our five talking points from Leeds United's 1-0 loss to Stoke City at Bet365 Stadium in the Championship as Patrick Bamford's penalty miss is punished by a Pascal Struijk own goal
It’s possible to understand why a professional footballer, who has made a career out of scoring goals, would want to take every opportunity they get to score, even if they are woefully out of form.

The England international is not about to go missing from Farke’s matchday squad, but if his fractious relationship with some quarters of the fan base was unstable before, this miss is not going to help the situation in the short term.Had John Busby not blown his whistle at Carrow Road on Saturday, we could have been looking at three goals conceded from corners in two games.
The recent exertions of Glen Kamara and Daniel James with club and country were highlighted as reasons for their rotation, while Archie Gray was left to continue at right-back. The 17-year-old started, and completed, his seventh 90-minute outing in 21 days at Bet365 Stadium last night. Jaidon Anthony and Wilfried Gnonto also struggled to make the desired impact as they came in for James and, more surprisingly, Summerville, Saturday’s hero. If the latter cannot play three matches in such quick succession, as Farke said, then it is hard to be too critical of the German’s choices.An opening top-two gap and approaching Leicester date
The fact Ipswich are second with those statistics speaks volumes for what relegated Leicester City are doing at the summit of the table. There are still more than two-thirds of this season to play out and everyone should know how much a Championship table ebbs and flows between August and May.
