Aside from that, the manager wants "the police to do a lot more" in response to the online harassment of the striker and his family.
Patrick Bamford has been challenged by Leeds manager Sam Allardyce to end the threat-making on social media by scoring the game-winning goal at West Ham on Sunday.
In addition, Bamford's missed penalty in last week's home draw with Newcastle sparked online hatred directed at the striker and his family, and Allardyce wants "the police to do a lot more" as a result.
He's been OK, he's obviously quite angry by the situation, Allardyce added. Leeds released a statement this week condemning the threats made on Twitter. It is something that truly leaves a very, very negative impression.
"I would like the cops to do a lot more, but it seems when it comes to social media, they govern and run the world and can say and do what they want, regrettably, which is why the world is in such a big mess, isn't it?
He handled it fairly well, and I believe the club provided him with the necessary amount of assistance, especially in terms of security.
He wasn't the only one involved; his family was as well. The wisest course of action is for him to enter the field on Sunday, give his all, and attempt to score.
And it would be much better if he scored the winning goal. It's to be hoped that it won't impact his performance.
In order to escape the relegation zone and maintain their top-flight status, Leeds is desperate for all three points versus West Ham.
They are currently in last place, one point from safety, and have a trip to the London Stadium on Sunday before playing Tottenham at home the next day.
After beating AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, West Ham advanced to the Europa Conference League final, and Allardyce is optimistic that Leeds will benefit from his old club's success.
"They have a final to consider, don't they," he said. You'll never know whether a player's subconscious influences their decision to play when they step out on the field.
