Grayson clearly doesn't rate Mak if he doesn't even start when Hugill is out. They had two huge, imposing CBs who Robinson and Barkhuizen as a partnership were just too lightweight for.
 
Was the original poster at Elland Road to witness our lack of strength up front without Hugill or are they just an anorak that taunts players with pathetic comments

He might not have been but he might have been at the games where he didn't play well. I've not seen as many games as I'd have liked to this season but some he has surprised me how much he has come on and others he looks out of his depth...

I backed him when he first came and I hope he pushes on again next season.

But I don't for one minute think our defeat today was due to Hugill being out

Not as much we missed him, but more that the players that played instead aren't up to it. Swear Callum Robinson is scared of the ball. Many times he could have won it and put us on our attack but instead he ducked out of the challenge letting them have another attack at us. Really don't rate him.

What is up with some of our fans? So Hugill on 10 goals us not up to.it, and now Robinson on 11 goals is not up to it. Both kids. Give me strength.

We had a 6ft 7 striker on the bench, so that lack of strength was mostly down to selection, rather than enforced due to Hugill's absence.

If Grayson doesn't see Makienok as sufficient competition for Hugill in the 'big striker' role, then we need to sign someone in the summer who will be, because having such a lightweight frontline doesn't really work and we've always played with a physical striker up top under Grayson.

I dont think Mak is that type of striker. Garner was and Hugill definitely is. Defences feel like theyve been hit with a battering ram by them.

He isn't as aggressive, for sure. However he certainly would've occupied their centre halves more than the likes of Callum Robinson today.

As I said though, in the long-run if Mak isn't going to be used very often perhaps another Garner/Hugill style "battering ram" would be a better use of a squad space than him.

You're making me feel old by saying Hugill, who is 25 in 2 months, is a kid.

He is a kid though. Maybe not in terms of his age, but in terms of his football experience and development. Same goes for Robinson.

I think you know what I meant anyway.

Whether he played or not, it was always likely we'd fall short. We're 2 or 3 top players in our starting 11 short of a top 6 side. That's not a critiscm as we've done far better then most of us thought we would. I'd say we need better at right back, centre midfield and striker as a priority.

Striker being the priority as Woods will hopefully fill the RB role when he comes back.

As much as I like Gallagher and he can be a game changer on his day I just think he is too lightweight in a midfield 2.

My Leeds friend who took me on the game said he was impressed with Makienok when he came on and wondered why we didn't start with him.

There is a centre forward coming on for 18 minutes when a defence is tired and then starting from the beginning though.... I have always thought he looks decent enough as surprised he didn't start.

You sat with the dirty Leeds fans?

...... you have a friend?

Despite the fact that you narrowed the field down to one in your OP. Haven't you got the balls to stick with your ( crap) judgement? You think he's useless, SG apparently doesn't. What rational human being would take your opinion over a professional's?

Which is why a robust experienced central midfielder who can be both an alternative to and a foil for Pearson has to be the priority in our summer transfer dealings.

Who knows. He could have played and we still lost 3-0. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing........ Just a thought...

So is stating the bloody obvious....The guy was injured and therefore missing. I thought in the circumstances I asked a reasonable question....
