Paul Heckingbottom announced his starting XI for the Championship clash with Reading on Saturday afternoon and fans are furious at the inclusion of midfielder Eunan O'Kane.

With Leeds back in 13th place at the start of the day, the focus is less on the play-offs now – that ship has sailed – but seeing which players the manager wants to keep for next season.

The team news was announced on the official Leeds Twitter page ahead of the 3pm kick-off.

Here are the best reactions to the line-up from Leeds fans:
