Puzzled Leeds United fans all say the same thing about Dan James after club's post

Wales star Dan James scored a superb goal for Leeds United on Saturday in their 3-0 win over Plymouth Argyle.

Winger James managed to shake off a hamstring complaint to start against the Pilgrims and he rewarded the faith shown in him by boss Daniel Farke by opening the scoring at Elland Road with a rocket.

Our colleagues at LeedsLive summed up his performance in their player ratings. Awarding him eight out of 10 for his showing, they wrote: "Summed up why it was such a boost to have him fit to start. Outstanding goal and arguably an even better cross with his weaker foot into Joel Piroe before the third strike. An all-round, persistent threat. Even had the luxury of coming off early to protect that hamstring."

His display certainly delighted the Whites faithful, who see their side in second place in the Championship, three points behind leaders Sunderland.

The club posted a photo of James in the aftermath of the win with the caption "Dan James appreciation post!"

A number of fans replied to the post puzzled by the fact James has yet to have a song among the supporter base.

"Someone make him a chant bloody hell," said one. "This lad has got literal scars from playing for leeds....but not a chant," said another.

"And still no song..." replied a third, while a fourth said "he needs a chant".

James' fitness and return to form will be a welcome boost for Wales boss Craig Bellamy, who is busy preparing his side for Nations League matches against Turkey and Iceland later this month. The former Manchester United man missed the last camp through injury.

“I watched Craig from a young age and he played the game with passion and determination,” James said of Bellamy earlier this year.

“He did that for Wales right through his career and for a number of top clubs as well. Craig never backed down from a challenge and was always looking to be direct and selfish in a good way.

“He had an unbelievable work ethic, made a lot of runs in behind defences and scored goals.

“He obviously played in my position and you are definitely going to learn from someone like that.”
