James Trafford has been the topic of discussion following Leeds United’s defeat to Bournemouth this afternoon.
The Whites are now winless in their last five games, raising concerns about the club’s form. Their last win came at Elland Road last month.
Bournemouth came into Saturday’s game full of confidence after consecutive wins in the league. They beat Man United and Sunderland, two teams that Leeds could only manage a draw against.
The aftermath of the game is focused on the poor Leeds performance, and James Trafford in particular.

The game started well for the visitors on Saturday, with Leeds looking like they were up for the game. They had decent chances and looked to be on the ascendancy.
Then James Trafford inexplicably passed the ball to Justin Kluivert, who then set up Evanilson for the opener.
Leeds never recovered from the first goal and they only performed worse as the match went on. Marco Rose’s side dominated the game and kept the Whites at bay.
Junior Kroupi’s goal late in the second half secured all three points.
Daniel Farke had some words to say on Trafford’s error on Saturday afternoon.
“James is a terrific goalkeeper. Outstanding for us this season. He saved us points. It’s life of a football player the sun not always shining. Win together, we lose together. He has all my trust and all my love. My recommendation is he shouldn’t watch the game back.”
