O’Kane has been the scapegoat of choice for many Leeds United supporters this season.

Leeds United may have won for the first time since Boxing Day, but Friday’s result against Bolton Wanderers does not appear to have glossed over one player’s performance.

Eunan O’Kane has been the scapegoat of choice for many Whites supporters this season, and allowing Adam Le Fondre to evade him for Bolton’s goal, which turned out to be nothing more than a consolation, didn’t help his cause.

Here’s what Leeds fans are saying about the Irishman’s latest showing…

Lucky for O’Kane, Adam Forshaw – his regular partner in central midfield – is set to miss several weeks with a calf injury, of which Leeds were aware at the time of his transfer from Middlesbrough in January, according to new manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Caleb Ekuban’s first goal for Leeds and a tap-in from Pablo Hernandez put the hosts in control in front of a bumper Elland Road crowd of more than 35,000 people.

And the vast majority of those returned home happy, despite Le Fondre’s header shortly after the Spaniard’s strike.

What did you make of O’Kane’s performance?
