Leeds United fans took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction at the performance of Eunan O'Kane in their 2-1 Championship win against Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road today.

O'Kane was named in the starting XI alongside Ronaldo Vieira in central midfield in the absence of the injured Adam Forshaw.

Leeds took a 2-0 lead through goals from Caleb Ekuban, his first for the club, and Pablo Hernandez, who doubled the advantage five minutes into the second half.

Adam Le Fondre pulled one back for the visitors after heading Sammy Ameobi's free-kick beyond the arms of Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Leeds' win was only their second since Boxing Day and should help to lift the gloom that has surrounded the club following a campaign that has failed to live up to expectations.

But supporters were unimpressed by former Bournemouth player O'Kane, who they felt failed to track his direct opponent in the build-up to the Bolton goal.

One claimed he is "not fit for the shirt" and another offered to buy him a "one-way ticket to the moon".

Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
