He said: “I've told him he has to work hard and he has been. I'm very pleased with his application. He's got mentally and physically stronger.
“[Bamford] is a possible England player at some stage, but he has got some learning to do.”
He added: “He just has to add a bit more to his game, as a young player. We're a tough team to break into.”
