Beren Cross opens up his Leeds United notebook to look at the latest news and snippets ahead of the club's clash with Blackburn Rovers
More than 10 months of waiting for Archie Gray to be proved right ended in disappointment this week. 2024 began with Patrick Bamford scoring the best goal of his career as Leeds United defeated Peterborough United in the FA Cup.
“I was like ‘What?’ and he was like ‘That’s going to get nominated, I’m sure!’, I think he was more excited than me.” Gray, sadly, was wrong as 11 other strikes were named on the shortlist this week, with Bamford missing. Blackburn match officials confirmed Lewis Smith will be in charge at Ewood Park on Saturday when Leeds United play Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. The match officials have been confirmed by the EFL.
He has also served as a referee for two J1 League games in Japan. Smith has managed two Whites games, beginning with a fourth round FA Cup matchup against Plymouth Argyle last season.
