Leeds fans react on Twitter to 26-year-old omission v Preston
By Dominic Toner
Leeds midfielder Eunan O’Kane was left on the bench against Preston – and the club’s supporters took to Twitter to disagree with the decision.
The 26-year-old has been an unused substitute during the last two games and will once again have to make do with a place on the bench.
Leeds host Preston on Saturday and are looking to respond to two consecutive defeats to consolidate their spot in the play-off positions.
Garry Monk has made three changes to his side as Ronaldo Vieira, Kemar Roofe and Alfonso Pedraza come into the starting XI.
Meanwhile, Liam Bridcutt, Stuart Dallas and Mo Barrow have dropped out.
Leeds fans voiced their frustration that central midfielder O’Kane was once again snubbed by Monk.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
O’Kane has played an important role in Leeds’ promotion pursuit this campaign and made 24 appearances across all competitions.
The combative midfielder has often linked up well with teenage sensation Vieira in the centre of the park, but Kalvin Phillips has been the preferred player recently.
The Whites will be searching for the three points against Preston as they look to book their place in the top six.
In other Leeds news, Simon Grayson has made a huge claim about his time at Elland Road.
