A lot of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to talk about Jack Harrison’s shot on Saturday that hit the post rather than the net.
Does it matter that Harrison is struggling to score?
Yes, he should score more
No, he provides so much to the team
The 23-year-old burst through a couple of challenges and got to the edge of the box, where he quickly turned around and whipped a delightful effort towards the far corner that had beaten Jonas Lossl. (0:07)
However, it did not find the net and instead rebounded off the woodwork and away to safety. (0:07)
This disappointed these Leeds fans who seem desperate for him to score.
Harrison was so unlucky here not to score. He was fantastic yesterday
Another assist ? #lufc pic.twitter.com/E414w01Uyj

A touch of the Eddie Grays about this move, gutted for him hitting the post.

He had hit the Woodward a few times . Honestly think if he can really work on that final 1% that makes the difference in finishing off a move he will be a future England player let alone a Leeds great! He has come on so much ?? #mot

So disappointed that didn’t go in! Would have been a goal of the season contender.

He let me down. I wanted a brace out of him. Maybe next week ?

Other Whites supporters, though, were once again impressed by Harrison and focused more on his performance than this chance.
Rate of development has been astounding, been very good recently just when we needed it. If he keeps developing (hopefully with us in the Prem) will be some player and worth some money!

What do we think?
The 23-year-old has not scored since Leeds beat Birmingham City 5-4 in December making it 12 league matches without a goal for Harrison.
However, we think that this was incredibly unlucky, and he was also unlucky against Hull City when he had a similar effort smack the woodwork. (2:15)
On Saturday, though, Harrison did provide an assist and earned a 7.99 rating from WhoScored – so even though he is not scoring, in our opinion, he is playing well, and that should be all that matters.
