Hopefully you will throw this post up to me very soon and remind me to 'believe' in future.

no think you concern is spot on Maupey, Massey and Che Adams in our recent defeats have shown what having a reliable aggressive ST can add.

So what? We have had plenty of teenagers over the years who have played very well. I genuinely didn't see him do ONE thing right today - he fell over (a lot), gave the ball away, didn't chase passes, jumped out of or over tackles and the one cross he put in ballooned high into the air. I agree there were others who were awful (hard to identify anyone that wasn't) but today really wasn't Clarke's day. Therefore, why bring him on? Give someone else a go or keep Jansson on the field for a potential threat from our many corners and free kicks.

JC, who does he play for?? If he's a striker get him in.

Sadly, his couple of good performances earlier on look like they were a flash in the pan. WTF Bielas doesn't give Shackleton a chance is an utter mystery.

Well I don’t think the young lad deserves to be pilliord, his time will come and the expectations we’ve all placed on him is totally unfair. His reaction at the end shows he cares and I hope he comes back next season stronger and better.

Of all the players over the last four days, you pick on the youngest and probably least experienced upon which to vent your spleen? Shame on the others, shame on you.

Nobody is pillorying him, simply pointing out that (like most of the team) he was disappointing today. Maybe as much Bielsa's fault as his.

2000 % agreed. Jesus Christ "we're all Leeds aren't we"? F00king sh1t we are when one of ours gets grief from "supporters" who allow Harrison, Bamford, Forshaw etc etc to remain unnamed in the disgrace of the last two games, shame on them.

"he fell over (a lot), gave the ball away, didn't chase passes, jumped out of or over tackles and the one cross he put in ballooned high into the air."

Not pillorying a teenage lad brought on at the wring time in a game our "senior" players had already f00ked up? Yeah, that just objective criticism innit?
